Check Engine Light-Please Help.

I have a 2003 EVO VIII. It has 46k miles on it. Today, the car dies on me while I'm pulling into a parking space. It starts back up but the check engine light is on. So I goto Autozone to have them pull the codes. I know bad idea but it has 2 codes, one for the camshaft position sensor and one for the crankshaft position sensor. The guy from Autozone says the computer maybe bad. The car has a Buschur TBE, K&N filter, Blitz turbo timer, and a Dynaflash reflash. Any ideas?

nine out of ten times you prolly stalled it or almost stalled it......no biggie just delete the code and drive on. I stalled mine out once and that same codes popped up. never had that code pop again 23k later.

Got the codes multiple times right after washing the car... Once I stopped water from getting into the engine bay it stopped.

I hope it was just a one time thing. The guy at Autozone tried to tell me that my computer was bad. The car seems to be running fine. I think it just stalled out because it was hot (104 in StL yesterday) and I had the AC on. Thanks for the comforting advice.

Normally you get codes for those sensors if your engine is out of time. As in the crank is not in time with the cams. but it seems this isn't the case here.
