Exclamation RPM's too low

I have a 2004 Rx8 which i love and called Amber. I stopped using it for Two month because i didnt have money to fix it up. After i bought coils spark plugs, oil change. Used EPS and EPS module i turned it on and test drived it. It suddenly stalled out when i came to a stop. Then the Engine light came on. It said crankshaft sensor, but its called the eccentric sensor on the Rx8, i cleared the code and the RPM Idle too low code came on and i really dont know what it could be Now. I test drove it again with the code still on and i drove it for a good hour without it stalling but the RMP's are still to low. any suggestions?

What do you call it now? The easiest way to increase RPM is to press the gas pedal down, ideally with your foot.

Clean the ESS then Reset the profile with the 20 brake stomp method

What are the chances of that happening !? Good to see you're up and running again.
