thanks, i wasn't sure. my problem must be somewhere else then since they are telling me it will crank normal but not fire.
The engine will fire up if not timed properly. Doesnt mean it will continue to run though.
This is what the camshaft sensor does! Make sure it is working as indended. Good luck, Tommy.
Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The camshaft position sensor used by COP Integrated EI system is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine front cover adjacent to the camshaft. By monitoring a target on the camshaft sprocket, the CMP sensor identifies cylinder one to the PCM. The COP Integrated EI system uses this information to synchronize the firing of the individual coils.

I'd have them STOP working on your vehicle, pay them for the inspection and send it home. You already know that the battery is the issue.i know what it is and what it does, thanks. thats not what my problem is. the dealership is telling me my plugs are fouled and my plug boots are bad. if that doesnt fix it im going to shoot them.

It sounds strange to me that previous to you replacing the timing chain that your engine fired up, even with the fouled plugs and bad spark plug wires as the dealer claims. If you are absolutely sure that you installed the timing chain correctly, then I would think it would be something with the electrical system. Perhaps when you reconnected the camshaft sensor wire connector, one of the terminal pins got bent out of position. This is where I would look. Good luck, Tommy.
If the car cranks but won't fire after work was done behind the timing cover my first instinct would be to check around the garage, behind doors, on shelves and whatnot for the toothed timing wheel that normally resides behind the cover. If you find it, you've found why you have no fire.
was gonna give my 2cents on this but u sent it to the dealer,my question was timing chain?as a noob if you were trying to follow steps to set chains i do believe left is right and right is left when lookin at chains ,on the crank their was a wheel that the sensor reads and on drivers side head was another,,that one is hard to pull off with power steering tank,could have pulled out wires,,and i agree with squeak on that dealer has tool for sensors,,i use my predator to read koeo volts to sensors and they most likely know was wrong but need to get the bill higher from diagnostic time
good one:Zip2:
Actually, I'm quite serious. Did you re-install the timing wheel before putting the cover back on?
im a bit confused by this term... give me a bit more info
Behind the timing cover, in front of the two cam sprockets, is a large "timing wheel" that the crankshaft position sensor, which inserts into the timing cover just behind the A/C compressor, uses to obtain crank speed and position information. You can see it in this pic:
If this wheel is omitted before the cover goes on, the PCM does not get crankshaft RPM or position data and the coils do not fire. Every time I read of someone having a no-fire issue after mucking about behind the timing cover this is the first thing that comes to mind.
You may also have forgotten to plug in the crank position sensor so check that too. If you pull the CPS out of the timing cover, you should, I believe, be able to stick a finger in the hole and feel for the timing wheel.
It seems like a commonly forgotten item. That's why I said to look around your garage for this part: If you find it on your bench, then it's not in the engine
haha yeah i definitely put that back in.Behind the timing cover, in front of the two cam sprockets, is a large "timing wheel" that the crankshaft position sensor, which inserts into the timing cover just behind the A/C compressor, uses to obtain crank speed and position information.

nice pic..some day i will figure out how to post pics like that...
It's not hard:
- Find a pic on the web you want to post. I typically use google and search images. Bring the image up on the web browser.
- Right click on the image and click on "Copy Image Location"
or
- Put an image of your own up on ImageShack (or like server) and get its location from that.
- Return "here" and position the caret where you want the image.
- Click on the "Insert Image" button or use the "img" tags and paste the address of the image you copied earlier.
- As long as the source of the image allows referencing like this, your image should show up when you submit.
jomull55, does the car have a spark?
Hate to say it, but I didn't think they would solve ur issue quickly....
