If the OP has the engine with a separate coil for each cylinder, my guess is
that one of the coils is going out. Being the optomist that I am, the coil
is the simplist part to have failed here, however, I thought the individual
coils had individual Codes.

I know you guys like to cycle the ignition on and off to extract the codes,
but I'm thinking this would be one of those times when the OBD II Code
Reader would be useful.

Having said that, since Code 11 is the crank position sensor, which is the
conductor for the entire orchestra, if it wasn't working right, it could
cause a coil not to fire, and a Code 43 could be stored as a result. I'm
gonna change my diagnosis to the Crank Sensor, or Cam Sensor, which I think
are roughly equivelent parts that do the same job in different places.
