ive spent around 4 hours with a mechanic friend of mine trying to find out why my evo 6 engine is only on 2 pots , the engine management light came on and and the engine died doing around 30mph, we think weve tracked it down to the cam sensor around £60.00 it also could be the crank angle sensor, my question is how does the cam sensor work ? as on my fiesta you can pull the cam sensor off and it will still run?

thanks

google, as i cant be arsed typing!!

 

if the crank sensor was not working it would not run at all so prob not goin to be that.

 

quick update on this guys, my new cam sensor arrived this morn, put the part in and it turned over with no issues at all, so well happy

Most ecu's only look for the phase/cam sensor signal when starting and lock onto it, so unplugging will still run, until you come to start again.
