The old one is driving me crazy to get out. It just don't make no sense to me why it is in there to begin with. 
Any way please advise. Sure would be easier.
Thanks. |
No you cant just mount it to the firewall.......
The CMP sensor provides one pulse per camshaft revolution (1X signal) to the VCM. The loss of this signal may not affect the driveability of the vehicle, but will affect the type of control the VCM has on the fuel injection system. If this signal is lost the VCM will pulse the injectors bank to bank (batch fire)instead of each individual injector at a time. The VCM also utilizes this signal in conjunction with the crankshaft position in order to determine which cylinder(s) are misfiring.
Align the square slot in the reluctor wheel with the CMP sensor Buy CAREFULLY bumping the starter.
Remove/Insert the CMP sensor through the reluctor wheel slot.
