Crank sensor problems

Perfikt · 10-26-2013, 08:45 PM

Brought the car to the dealer, and they were no help at all. They seen the wiring harness had been modified to accommodate the lambo doors, stopped right there and didn't even look at the problem I brought it in for. So I got it back from them and started playing with the car myself.

I got it to start, with the crank position sensor plugged in, but it would always be in limp mode and take a few tries to get running . so i limped my Butt over to auto zone to read the check engine codes. It had several and all of them mentioned cam position sensor, bank 1, or timing off. So when I get back home, I unscrewed the cam sensor on the passenger side, and rotated it about 30 degrees. Car starts flawlessly every time, first shot, no hiccups. I ran out of light before I got a chance to reset the computer and see if it goes limp mode with cam sensor rotated or not.

Anyone have a possible explanation for why it would start so easy with cam sensor rotated?
