I'm still in the process of trying to diagnose the no-start problem with my 87 GN from last Monday and despite trying virtually everything suggested, I still can't get it to start.
I just pulled the cap from the cam sensor to verify that it was turning while the motor was cranking and noticed something that I thought was a little odd.
As the motor is cranked the cam sensor doesn't seem to be spinning at an equal rate. What it seems to do is spin slowly for about 1/3 of a complete revolution and then speeds up for the other 2/3. If I keep cranking the motor the pattern repeats itself - slow for the first 1/3 revolution and then fast for the remaining 2/3.
I'll be pulling the cam sensor off in a couple of hours when I get back home but was curious in the meantime whether it was supposed to do that.
Thanks,
Christopher
