code 15 indicates -DTC - 15 Engine coolant temp sensor error (low temp indicated) and code 44-DTC - 44 Left bank O2 sensor error (lean condition indicated). Hows your gas mileage? I would bet your car is stuck in open loop now.

Re: need help!!!!

you may have one or more bad injectors. test them for ohms. Also, take a look at your o2 sensor,when did you change it last? it could be bad. Test your coolant temp sensor,or better yet,just get a new one. They are only like $12 at Napa. Don't rule out the possibility of a bad ecm either.
