What is your question?
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to fix my Commander. - It takes several tries to start the vehicle, idle purges from high to low, almost wanting to stall. - Check engine, Traction control, Oil Pressure light are ON, and the Throttle control light flashes in the dashboard. - The OBD code is P0335 (Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit). - And finally the gas pedal will not respond, (does not rev up). I already changed the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the code P0335 will not clear out. I changed the oil pressure sensor, and the Electronic Throttle body, and still no change. Next I will be changing the spark plugs with the OEM Champion 570 Copper Plus (RE14MCC4) with the black tip. If anyone had the same problem and were able to fix it, please share... I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks...

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? Code 'readers' and parts replacing can get really expensive.
Did you have any luck? I have this exact problem. My wife filled it with gas last night and now it won't do anything. thanks
I gave up on trying fixing it myself after changing the PCV valve, spark plugs, electronic throttle body, and the crankshaft position sensor. I took it to a shop and they were able to get it fix by changing the computer and a ground wire. Now it runs like a champ... I spent about $350 in parts I replaced myself and the shop charged me under $1,000 for the computer, ground wire and labor.
I do not have a fuel pressure gauge. But, I was also thinking about the gas... My wife filled up the tank on the night before the commander started acting up with the symptoms I described before. Also I inspected the PCV valve and it was clogged / sticking. I don't think this little valve will cause that many problems but I will be replacing it first thing in the morning.
Take a fuel sample (at least 1 pint) in a CLEAR container and let it sit for at least 5 minutes and look for any separation indicating a mix of gas/water or gas/bio-diesel (harder to see sometimes).
I'll give it a try...
