Another None Starting SHO

[Tekarus]

OK you guys, I don't want to repeat previous post on this subject of SHOs not starting. But the search function on this forum does work as well as it used too. Here are my symtoms:

CAR DOES NOT START. (ran fine until I parked it overnight)

1)I'm getting spark.

2) There's fuel on my plug from trying to start it so much (and I smell it after 10 or more tries). So i'm pretty sure I'm getting fuel.

3. Tach read 300 - 500 when cranking

Is the tach moving at all when you try and start it? If it isn't I suspect the cam position, or CID sensor could be the problem.

Had the same symptoms, Cam sensor - pretty cheap and very easy to replace.

Were you able to start yours before you changed the CID?

Nope, I replaced the cam sensor and battery at the same time and have been runnin fine ever since. Tho old cam sensor was cracked and the car seems to be a little more peppy after it was replaced.

You know, I read somewhere that someone unplugged their CID and it started up. The guy kept it unplugged until his replacement arrived. I would like to know how feasible that is, but shucks after taken off the intake and moving the powersteering res. you might as well replace it.

UPDATE
The decided to try to push start. "Popped" the clutch and she fired right up. I shut the ignition off and tried to start again. She fired right up. So this morning I drove her to work (I put a lot of faith in the SHO). No problems so far..

So does anyone have an idea what the problem is?

You may be just getting lucky. I would change your cam sensor anyways.
