Cam Sensor

[89SHO X2]

is it difficult to change the cam sensor? i dont need to remove the intake do i?

It's easy if you have small hands like the guy in the BK commercial.

k, thanks

I'm assuming you have an 89 which I am pretty sure you need to remove the engine dampner to get at the cam sensor. It's also easier to remove the tube that the DIS is bolted to.

 

[89SHO X2]

no its my '94 sho

 

[jmpSHO]

ATX or MTX? Ony difference is the dampner has to be removed from the MTX.

 

[89SHO X2]

atx. i will remove the end of the plenum with the dis on it. i should be able to reach it better.

That include having to pull the dampner?

I'd say so, it shouldnt take longer that that.

-ummm....now he said CAM sensor(or CID sensor to me if i understood), not crank sensor. cam (or CID)sensor is fairly easy on the passenger back side of the engine, the CRANK sensor you have to remove the dampner for........:booboo:

It's easier to get at the cam sensor if the dampner is removed but it's not impossible.

 

[randy'sho]

yeah that was from the time that I popped my hood (yes I took the dampener off) until the time that the tools were back in the toolbox!

Its real easy I would say about a 10min job anyone can do it just pull of the upper crossover tube and youll be good to go.

The sensor itself is held on by 2 5.5mm bolts.
The sensor housing is held on by 2 8mm bolts.
If you see any oil in there, change out the cam seal as well.

lol, I was thinking the same thing, then I thought about it some more. They're talking about the engine anti-roll dampener that's mounted to the strut tower. I've had mine off for so long I didn't realize what they were talking about at first.
