Its my sisters car and I posted up in the V6 forums, but it got 30 reads but no replys, and I know you guys are a ton of help and some of you have V6s as your DD, so I figured I would try here.
The car sputters and misses, has a cam sensor code and a misfire detected code, p0340 and p0300.
ran some electrical tests on the sensor and it was bad. Took it out and found that it had destroyed itself, nothing but metal and plastic bits. I have no clue how the engine was still running. The syncronizer (basically the distributer shaft) was also damaged. so I replaced the entire setup. I couldnt find the alignment tool anywhere (tool to get the timing just right). so I aligned everything to the marks I had made, left the (distributer) hold down loose so I could do a little dizzy twisting to get it just right.
So I fixed one obvious problem but the engine still sputters, almost as bad as before. What now?
Thank you.
