code 632

[Banshee]

94 atx. Pulled 632,632. Koer. I don't have a factory gear shifter so i don't have an od button. I was expecting different because 2 days ago the car was hard starting and the cel came on but the tachometer didn't rev. Reset the battery and that seemed to work. I know my battery is about toast but could that cause the hard start almost like no spark. It turned over fine that time but sometimes it turns over real slow.

We need to know what hard starting means. Does it take 3 or 4 tries to get a start condition, or does it roll over slow but start if there is enough time.
In the first case, with the tach not working well, it could be the cam sensor acting up, and you can unplug it to see if it is faulty.
In the second case, I would look at your clamp-on battery cable ends. Especially the clamp part that grabs the cable, not so much the clamping connector on the battery posts.
Your 632 code seems more like a procedural mistake in the code reading activity.

Thanks sperold. Sometimes it will crank over just fine just not fire up. Sometimes it turns over like it's got no juice but will catch and fire then the cel light comes on and i have no tachometer and have to reset the battery then it's all good. I do have some oil leaks I need to fix too.

when you reset the battery, you clear the codes, so you need to pull codes before you "reset the battery".

you have classic symptoms of a sick cam sensor. they are not expensive and are relatively easy to change, so I would just do that first.
