Quick question guys, I marked the balancer 1.45" away and inserted the cam sensor with the button to the passenger side and the wires toward the left headlight, but then I tried to start the car forgetting to then rotate the sensor and check voltage. What I want to know is can I just rotate it now and check voltage or do I need to bring the engine back to 25 degrees after tdc??
 
Yep you gotta start over and make sure you are on compression stroke and not on exhaust. Very common to be on the wrong stroke when setting the cam sensor. I still do on occasion. If it wont start right away that is usually the problem.
 
I pull the oil filler tube and watch #1 intake valve after I see it open I start searching for the mark.
 
Ok so I went back and redid everything except now the voltage is 11.2 all the way around but only drops to 7.6 when it's in the window???
 
Nevermind, coilpack needed to be grounded, thanks for the help guys. I''ve been waiting over a year to here this sound!!!!
