| Oct 5, 2016 at 20:58 | comment | added | Ben | @G.Travis Your probably going to need an oscilloscope if everything else checks out to verify the integrity of the ac waveform. another thing to check, maybe there's interference on the wire. make sure there isn't anything like plug wire leads or that the harness is routed along the alternator. make sure the shielding on the cam sensor wiring is still intact and check for loose grounds. if all else fails replace the cam sensor with a different part and if you haven't already put the original computer back in the car. Double check all the engine compartment fuses. | |

| Oct 5, 2016 at 2:29 | comment | added | G. Travis | Any idea what color the wire is for pin 85?? | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 2:21 | comment | added | G. Travis | The blue wire went to 6 volts and the other wire went to 25 volts on the camshaft sensor? | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:20 | comment | added | G. Travis | The timing positions are all on point so next thing is checking the wires | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:20 | comment | added | Ben | it's... pin 85 on the computer connector same wire color. use a sewing pin or similar and backprobe the connector. | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:17 | comment | added | G. Travis | So how do i check the computer? | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:16 | comment | added | Ben | I'd check sensor output at both the sensor and at the computer. this way you can eliminate a wiring issue if you see it at one place but not another. | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:15 | comment | added | G. Travis | Voltage in the computer? | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:14 | comment | added | Ben | pull the fuel pump fuse and have someone crank it while you check voltage at the sensor/computer. | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 1:13 | comment | added | G. Travis | If the truck doesn't stay running how am i able to check the voltage. It sounds like its only running on two cylinders but the only code that it throws is the camshaft sensor | |
| Oct 5, 2016 at 0:53 | comment | added | Ben | If you didn't have slack on the tension side of the belt when you installed the belt it can cause either the cam or crank to rotate as tension is applied. This may only be half a tooth. but usually it's enough to set a code. If there's too little tension on the belt it can cause the belt to slip. | |
