I changed the o-ring on my 1998 1.8 liter camshaft position sensor and after reinstallation the sidekick won't start.
Ran great before albeit with an oil leak. I carefully marked the sensor before removal. I only goes in one was as the coupling slot is offset.
When I look online for a replacement I find a Spectra brand PN: SZ02 for $55 that is said to fit a 1996 - 1997 but not a 1998.
The same site offers a Spectra PN: 31-S2400 for $125 that is sadi to fit 1996-1997-1998.
One site sells only the module without housing for $45 but excludes the 1998 year in it's fitment list.
Other sites (Ebay) shows PN 31-S2400 fitting various Suzuki from 1996 through 2004 with the exclusion of 1998.
Is there something different/special about the 1998? or will the less expensive unit fit the 1998? And, what could possibly cause the unit to fail from simply changing the o-ring?
Suggested sources?
