    did you try replacing the sensor? you might have killed it. Rip any other connectors out...obviously fuel or spark isn't reaching the chambers.

        Crank sensor or cam sensor?

        Getting an SES light? Do you have an autotap to check the different sensors' values?

            So if the cam sensor got caught in the belt, why'd you change the crank sensor?

            Are you sure it was the crank sensor you changed? That's not exactly as easy to change as the cam sensor.

            Are you getting an SES light?

              lol man im not as stupid as you think when i was down looking at the wires i saw the crank sensor the 1 behind the harmonic balancer was broen off the part where you screew a bolt in so i chagned it and looked at the cam shaft sensor but it was good and checked the coils with a meter and they were good so what could be causing it imso pissed becuase i have no idea

                Then why are you in this situation in the first place? The lack of punctuation isn't helping either.

                Did you check the CMP Sensor with a multi meter?


                Once again, are you getting an SES light?

                      It seriously took me a few times to understand that you were insulting me. And yes, temperature & humidity are directly related to how intelligent I am. That's also with a horrible 2.4 60'. Driving ability is now another deciding factor in intelligence, huh?


                      Anyways, here's the diagnostic stuff for the CMP Sensor out of the service manual. http://home.cfl.rr.com/mkaprocki/Camaro/CMPSensor.mht
                      Have you scanned your computer to see if you have any new DTCs? If one of the sensors was broken, I would expect a new DTC.

                          1) I have Intake and Exhaust...not exactly enough mods for a 13 sec slip.
                          2) Do you know what heat & humidity does to the times?
                          3) Who gives a **** if you think it's a waste of money?
                          4) You know what I consider a waste of money? Messing with your car if you don't know what the hell you're doing.
                          5) Sorry I ever tried to help you, jackass.
