Cam Sensor Tool

Just go to Caspers Electronics "https://www.casperselectronics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?" and get the Cam Tool. It comes with directions for using it and getting the cam sensor set right.

I think i need to replace my cma sensor also, what lead you to changinging it out as in what problems did you encounter?

I have removed the cam sensor and replaced it simply by marking it's position before removal. The adjustment of the sensor is not as critical as some may think. If you want to test it, you don't need a special tool, just look at the instructions on gnttype.org. Also search for a thread on turbobuicks.com named "cam sensor and timing Q".

To make it easier to reinstall the retaining bolt, I tape the bolt into the socket with duct tape so it doesn't fall out when trying to get the bolt back in.
