Big_Clyde: My bad i meant Cam Sensor. Im starting to lean towards this more than anything.

tjwalker: We tested it like i'd posted before and we got 12V going in and 6V coming out.

rglasser: Ive heard of that as well. thanks.

Ive read over forum after forum of people replacing everything trying to fix the same problem and i dont really have that amount of money to throw into it. Some have been the ECU some the Crank sensor and some the Stator. IM leaning towards the Stator which i hope is to problem.

Question is though....do i replace it with one for a 1996 or 1999?
1996 for the engine or 1999 for the Computer to match up...?

Where is the cam censor located? I know where the stator is and the crankshaft position censor but, don't know much about the cam censor. Could you explain where the cam censor is.

Did it fix the problem?
I'm in the same boat. My wires are open on the cam shaft sensor and replacing it tomorrow.

No, Ive still got the same problem. Ive put the oil pressure sensor in since. Now when we try to start it we have fuel on the spark plugs but will still DONT have spark. Im on a high schoolers minimum wage budget so i cant just dump parts into it like some of the other forums ive read that people have had to do.

Im thinking about replacing the Ignition Coil/stator under the distributor and possibly the Cap and Rotor. When we do get spark though its a very weak orange one. Can the position of the flexplate make any difference on the crank sensor or can you bolt it on any way?

I know im bringing an old thread back to life but did you ever figure it out??? im in the same boat, tried dizzy cap, rotor, plugs, wires, cam sensor, crank sensor, and even went as far as swapping in known good ecu, cam sensor and crank sensor and still have nothing
