I think idm refers to injector driver.

How would cam get 180 out? The only way I know of to check camshaft timing is to align the timing marks correctly. You have to be careful that it does not slip a tooth or 2 when installing a new belt. Maybe the timing belt tensioner isn't good.

thanks for the help. The situation is crap, today I looked at the top dead center of the first cylinder, the difference is about four teeth, although the marks on the camshafts and crankshaft converge.

I'll probably have to take off the valve covers again, I ****** them, and put in plus these reverse marks.

Well,I thought it was a crazy idea, the marks on the reverse side were set, in fact, when the engine was completely disassembled, in my case they did not go astray (only when the chain broke) The chain is intact. There is no need to remove the valve cover, this is already good. Top dead center is set by marks on the crankshaft.

alternatively, the chain jumped, but I don’t believe that much.

Probably the next step will be to replace the dis module, there are no more ideas, if anyone has any, I will be glad to have them

did you install the missing bolt at the bottom of the DIS. It is a ground and needs to be connected, both of them

yes, I screwed in the two bottom bolts, it didn’t give any results, I left the top right one without for now, judging by the diagram, there is no grounding there.

The fan often turns on when the ignition is turned on, does this mean anything?

When removing the PCM and disassembling it, one capacitor was bad, it rotted and the leg fell off, the technician said that it was a small thing, soldered another “it had a different power” and answered that it didn’t matter. I didn’t attach any importance to it. Maybe it’s important?

It could mean there is an issue with the ECU or a ground issue. I am have the same problem on one of my cars, but it still starts

I don’t understand how to check the camshaft sensor with a finger? From the wires, the generator chip is in bad condition, but I tried cleaning it. Once I didn’t put the generator chip on all the way and couldn’t start the car, it spun but didn’t grab.
one way to check if you have a bad cam sensor is to unplug the connector to it and then try starting the car. It might take a few tries as the engine is guessing when to fire. If it starts, then either the cam sensor or wiring to it could be bad. Cam sensors can fail when oil leaks pass the cam seal. To see if that happens, you run your finger or something else under the bottom of the sensor to see if oil is coming out the bottom of it.

I thought if the crankshaft sensor is not working, there is no spark?

trying to give you some suggestions as you mentioned you got it to start for a little bit, if I recall if the tach doesn't move its related to the cam sensor

Unplugging it will give you a chance to see if it's the cam sensor without replacing it
what should happen when it is turned off?
I took a used pcm, dis, camshaft sensor, they gave it away inexpensively, I bought it just in case

Start the car with it unplugged, it may take a few tries, but if it starts and runs, then your cam sensor or wiring to it is bad
