PLEASE HELP im running out of money and patience HELP!!!!!!!

 

Did you check your trouble codes in the PCM ?

 

I have done a computer check with a camshaft sensor stored but i was told when i replaced the distrebutor that it was bulit in ? is this true? or is this even what your refering to?

 

I have a 2000 with a cam pos. sensor code also. I heard the samething about the sensor being on the dizzy. But I also heard that the sensor might not be the problem it might just be doing its job "sensing". So I think that the problem lies in a cause and effect relationship. What was the specific code that obd II gave you? Did you write it down? I have been dealing with this problem for a year now and it seems to go away for seasons and then comes back with warm weather. Can you share any more symptoms?

 

i t read cam sensor a like there was two of them or something and after i got it to crank thoise last times that was it it has not fired since at all any where. is this anything like you experienced?
