There is a gear on the distributor shaft and a gear on the end of the camshaft that it engages with. The gear on the camshaft cannot be removed as it is part of the camshaft. The gear on the distributor shaft can be removed if it is worn; however, this is rare. These two gears must be in proper mesh for the engine to run; one cog off and it will not start.If you need further assistance Google ' finding top dead center on a 350 chevy'.

Can a distributor change the way your car drives?
A distributor will change the way the car runs not the way it drives.
How do you change a crank sensor on a 1999 Jetta 3 2 0L?
The distributor is the crank sensor. If the timing belt was changed and the check engine light came on, the shaft that drives the distributor could be out of time.

Yes it does.
Is there a code for a camshaft position sensor on a 1997 Ford Taurus 3.0 v6?
If the sensor is bad I believe a check engine code will be stored. But if the distributor is chirping there will not be a code. You will hear a chirping sound like a loose belt coming from the drivers side of the engine near the air intake. The camshaft sensor and it's distributor are under the intake, where the ignition distributor used to be. If it is chirping you should replace it (the dist. the sensor is ok) or have it replaced. The gear that drives it also drives the oil pump. If it fails you loose the oil pump as well and there goes your engine.

Either the gear on the end of the distributor shaft is chewed off or the gear that drives it is . Possibly broken cam.
What could be wrong with a 96 cirrus drives good then just dies out?
Sounds like either the camshaft position sensor or the crankshaft position sensor are bad. If the PCM doesn't receive a signal from the crank or cam sensor, the PCM signals the Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD) and fuel pump relay to shut down the ignition and fuel delivery systems. On four-cylinder engines the camshaft position sensor is located at the rear of the cylinder head, and the crankshaft position sensor is located on the side of the engine block, near the oil filter. On V6 engines the cam sensor is located in the distributor and is not serviceable. Replace the distributor. The crank sensor is located on the transaxle bellhousing, below the distributor.
What makes an oil pump work on a 99 truck?
If it has a distributor, then that is what drives the oil pump. The camshaft is what makes the distributor turn.If it does not have a distributor then the gear on the oil pump slides over the front of the crankshaft and turns when the crankshaft turns and that is what makes the oil pump work. Early 99 models had a distributor, and the late 99 did not have one.
What is DTC P1345 Can someone explain more than Ignition system or misfire on a 96 Olds Bravada w4.3 W Vortex?
It is a crankshaft sensor / cam position sensor correlation error. In otherwords the sensor in your distributor that reports the position of the cam shaft and the crankshaft position sensor behind the harmonic balancer are not in synch. The most common cause is a distributor being removed and replaced a bit off. Second would be wear of the distributor gear and third would be excessive slack/wear of the timing chain and gears. last but not least would be a bad sensor or wires from the sensor. If you have had the distributor removed for any reason re doing that at top dead center is reccomended. If not check the distributor gear for wear. You can test for wear by turning the distributor counter clockwise a degree or two and see if the code goes away. If this test is successfull replace the gear soon as it also drives your oil pump!! This is done properly with a scan tool that can report cam position while running at 1,200 rpm it should be 0.
