Camshaft Position Sensor Cap O-Ring 1.8

[fixkick]

Thank you very much for the good information.

After sleeping on the situation, I pulled the camshaft position sensor yet again and this time removed the indexing disc. I found and removed a tiny spec of debris from the wheel no bigger than a 64th round. I cleaned the whole wheel with alcohol, reassembled and the sidekick started and ran perfectly. I will reinstall the new plugs and set timing.
I know and should have been more rational with this failure... ~ The Most likely cause of fault is what was most recently worked on.

Thanks Again.

way to go, looking close, found contam.
thanks for sharing you experiences.
stuff happens.  

same with newer sensor seen on crank or cam or in the transmission, the end gets full of mud only discover it is metal dust, and makes  the sensor fail or misfire.
always clean any failing sensor first. keep open mind, it may be still good.

good luck to you  and your J18
