The vehicle runs excellent and passes smog with brand new CAT converters. It’s sitting on brand new tires as well.

Well, I think we fixed it. We replaced the crank position sensor, water pump, main seal, and timing belt. It seemed that the old CPS was the issue. After installing the first CPS backwards and subsequently ruining it, we finally installed it properly (which we were able to do without removing...
well, we figured out the problem... hate to say it, but we put it on backward. It was cracked open and broken. Now is time to buy another CPS. The question is, which one to buy?

So after getting the 211 code, I bought a replacement CPS from...
Hey all!! Thanks again for everyone's help diagnosing my 92 SHO MTX in my previous post.
So I ordered a timing belt, water pump, main seal and CPS. Shout out shosource.
My brother and I got around to tearing everything out, with instructions from Uday Kamath.
It went pretty smoothly except...
Ok so it wasn’t the coolant (i was feeling hopeful) i drove my buddy home warmed it up. Stalled it at his house. Wouldn’t start. Fiddled with the temp gauge harness, ICRM, DIS then it fired up.
Almost got home and it died and the engine light came on (not because I stalled it this time)...
Is it possible it could have been low coolant?? I added coolant to my reservoir last night because it was pretty low…
I ran tests this morning warmed it up a ton, ran both tests multiple times. I pulled a 411 idle higher than expected but I think it was because I hit the gas at the wrong time...
Was your temperature gauge showing incorrectly too? Or fans failing to go? Or did it just not start. My gauges and fans seems to be fine. Also the issue is causing mine to die. I will try pulling that if I can figure out where it is.

Well I ran the KOEO and KOER tests with my dad about 4 times each and the only code it threw was 116( coolant temp higher or lower than expected) the first time because I think the engine wasn’t warm enough yet… so we jammed out in the kicking sound system for a minute and then tried to take it...
I ordered one this morning and it got here already. I am currently reading and annotating the manual. Hoping this will give me some good info.

I noticed that when It died and I try to crank it again, that the tachometer does move as it should. Someone said that means it is likely not the CPS. Thank you for the link I will buy a code reader and try to pull the codes.
I just turned it on and warmed it up. Again its only when its warm...
