2G cam angle sensor question (pic's added)
« on: April 08, 2010, 08:44:01 pm »
I have a question on if there is a a right way or wrong way to install the "camshaft position sensing cylinder" there is no timing marks on it, has two sections missing out of it and the are not the same size openings. I have Chilton online and all i can find is the torque spec. for the bolt but nothing on installing the sensing cylinder.

People who don't know what i have its a 99 2.0L 4g63 engine.

1. make sure no.1 cylinder @ TDC position
2. if u look at the cam sensing blade has small and big gap. There's a white paint mark in between the big gap(check your third picture), that paint mark should be facing the cam sensor.
