Post #254,497 by folkert 5/5/06 9:27:34 AM Reply	Everything is functioning properly. I just swapped in a new Camshaft sensor... new wiring for it to the computer plug, got continuity from the sensor plug to the computer plug. It still doesn't start. I replaced it because it was the original, and it had the OLD style "prone to failure" plug. So, I spent $30 on a Dealer Wiring kit, ending any doubt I had there. I used a known good used camshaft sensor from a running car that was rear-ended, $10. $58 new. I found a great one off a 2004 2.0L Dodge motor. Injectors are functioning properly... I know this from the fact that I have a fuel injector spray inpection rig. Basically a clear plastic container with rubber seals for the injector(s). Next up for replacement, the coil pack. $124 new. $35 for a known good used one. (none found yet) After that... off it goes to a real mechanic. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Describe the problem, ask what he thinks, and spend the next five minutes saying, "Tried that ... tried that ... tried that ... "? Push it through the front door, throw the keys at him and say, "Call me when it runs"? === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

But I am almost to the "throw the keys at him, telling him to call me when it runs" stage. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
