Thread: CEL code crank/cam sensor

Sure will.

I'm almost where I need to be. Part comes in tomorrow and then I just grab a chain water pump and gasket set.
I figure some time next week I'll get started, but I probably will pull the motor and hit the engine bay a nice satin black then do the block, head and tranny, to match the valve cover silver while it's out and accessible.

Never wanted beastly power from it, just some extra pedal snap. So I'm not expecting much at all. The cams plus the existing exhaust, flywheel-n-clutch plus the cams, should make me happy. I also get to keep the gas mileage as well.

take pics when u do it lol, make a writeup on how to stab the distributor back in and get everything all lined up nice

Do you mean make a write up of pulling the engine and refreshing the gaskets etc, or just replacing the distributor? Because the dist swap is probably the easiest thing to do to the motor out of what I'm planning.

Should have done that write up with my body mods and paint. LOL

I read the FSM on the top and front end of the engine and know I'm in deep with all those tolerances to measure and torque sequences. Gonna be fun though as I haven't done this sort of internal work since the mid-late 80's up in NW CT. I have twins coming in June and know this will be the last car project I have for many years so I have to do it now and do it right.

hmmm both lol, just the distributor swap. I have found guides on how to stab it in there and line the dots up for the rwd sr20 , but i think the markings are a bit different?

wouldn't know the RWD ones, as the only 240 I had was a 90 hatch with pop up light that an ex g/f left with and I never even opened the hood.

I popped the distributor out a while back when I replaced the o-ring. All I did was pull the cap off, checked the position of the rotor, pulled the two bolts, popped out the dist and made sure I noted the location of the rotor of shaft and MADE SURE IT DIDN'T MOVE. lol...
Put the o-ring on and popped it back in same as it came out.
I don't expect the new one to be much harder as long as I go by the FSM specs since the heads getting redone.

But sure I'll try to snap away as I'm doing this... see what happens... Maybe even make a video... if I can find the charger to the cam.
