now tell me exactly what car this engine (new) came out of.
year and all facts, displacement, ,
there are at least 3 to 4 generations of J20 and J18 1996 first.
the J20B and all generations have there own spark and ECU parts, for sure CMP and CKP/
not just the sensor but the things that spins that the sensor measures.
does both engines have 4 cops or just 2, with wasted spark technology????? they did both. that is a fact and can not be mixed up, (ECU will done)
think not only of sensor but what it measure.
also learn to use a timing light.
and at all 4 sparkplugs, get spark plug extender and yes new boots for cops.
and see it fire in the correct firing order, 1,3,4,2
I the crank pulley put 2 marks there, in chock. one on the real mark and one 180degrees on pulley new chock marked
even dead engine can be crank timed, sure can there is spark cranked.
so the timing light works.
top real mark is 1,4,
and 180d mark new is 3,2
so with inductive pick up 1 it lands on top mark, factory mark.
then on #4 same.
the on spark 3 lands 180d out.
the on 2 spark lands on 180d out mark.
that proves correct timing
also not flashing the strobe on false marks, not land on 0 mark or 180 mark but wild. that to is failed timing. (CMP bad?) cam sensor bad or what is inside it. that turns messed up.
wrong engine but same timing.
