no You need to check the ESTM electronic spark timing module This requires a engine scanner to watch the timing retard and advance. why do you think the timing is going crazy? Need to know more info. to answer correct. NEUTZ

Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1997 Chevrolet K 3500?
Inside the timing chain cover there is a crank position sprocket and a sensor that connects into the side of the timing chain cover. There is also a sensor in the distributor(this is the camshaft position sensor). The connector faces the firewall. To setup your timing you have to rotate the distributor to 0 deg or you will get a P1345 code. A timing light won't help. If you don't have the right equipment you need to take it to the dealer or keep adjusting the distributor until the code goes away. Jon
Where is the camshaft sensor on a 1997 Tahoe?
it should be located on the timing cover on the front of the engine, just below the harmonic balancer. NEW ANSWER : Cam sensor is under the distributor cap and bolted to the distributor base plate. The crankshaft sensor is bolted in the passenger side of the timing cover.
Where is the crank and camshaft sensor located on a 98 Chevrolet silverado?
The cam sensor is the distributor, The crank sensor is in the front bottom left side of the timing cover. Behind the balancer.
What does the camshaft sensor do?
Camshaft Sensor is used to adjust the timing to to belt stretch
Where is camshaft sensor on 2001 maxima?
The camshaft position sensor is located on the timing chain cover at the front of the engine.
Where is camshaft position sensor located on a 1999 dodge stratus?
4 cylinder it is on the end of the head opposite the timing belt. 6 cylinder it is part of the distributor.
Where is the camshaft sensor located on 2004 Chevy Astro?
On a 2004 Chevy Astro, the camshaft sensor is located in the front of the engine. It is on the left side of the timing cover behind the camshaft sensor.
I have a 2001 Honda civic hx and it turns over but wont start I received a reading p1362. Is this my crankshaft senor or camshaft sensor camshaft?
P1362 code indicates a faulty top dead center sensor. It could be the sensor or a distributor problem. There is also the off chance that it is related to the timing belt.
Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a Honda CR-V?
The camshaft position sensor, also referred to as the TDC sensor, is located under the same cover as the timing belt. It is a good idea to check the condition of the timing belt and water pump if you are changing the camshaft position sensor.
Where is the timing belt sensor located on a 2001 kia sportage?
there is no timing belt sensor, only camshaft position sensors and crankshaft position sensor.
What does 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe Camshaft Position Sensor do?
A camshaft position sensor reads the location of the camshaft and sends that information the engine computer. This is needed for fuel and ignition timing.
How do you set the ignition timing on a 1996 Jeep Cherokee?
You cannot "set the ignition timing" Timing is adjusted by the computer as it monitors the "CPS" Crankshaft Position Sensor. True statement Gregg, but! Your forgetting the whole picture. The camshaft sensor is in the distributor which is gear driven by the camshaft, the camshaft is then driven by the crankshaft by the timing chain. Technically, when you install the Camshaft sensor (distributor) you turn the engine (crankshaft) to position the piston on #1 cylinder at TDC (top dead center). The timing mark on the harmonic balancer should read 0. You then install the distributor with the rotor lined up to the center of the #1 cylinder lug on the distributor cap. Theoretically, from this position the computer adjusts the timing as needed. However, on occasion the rotor does NOT line up dead center of the lug on the distributor and I have had vehicles then backfire and stumble, even after following the above procedure. For a number of reasons the timing is off! To correct this misalignment I have adjusted the timing by turning (advancing) the crankshaft position a few degrees on the harmonic balancer and then re-installed the distributor with the rotor dead center on #1 lug on the cap! Seemed to make the computer happy and eliminated the stumble and backfire! So, in short! The timing can be played with!
