First off my car has never ran right, I have owned it for a year and a half, and have never been able to find out the problem(have been thinking about selling it) but I thing I might have now
The car misses constatly- not a dead miss, but a stumble on multiple cylinders, detanation, and a rich condition
After getting out of school for the day I went to start my car. As soon as it fired up the check engine light came on, I looked at the oil psi- zero I freaked, cut it off, then, asuming I was seeing things, or the guage was wrong, tried to start it again- nothing but crank.
I got it towed to my dealership where I work- find out the pin in the cam sensor gear broke. I am fixing this now, but what I also noticed was that there was noting between the base of the housing, and the gear.(there was an extremely thin washer, thats it) I belive that this would cause the shaft to move back and forth about 5-10degrees, and also move up and down, setting the cam sensor off- causing a miss
Does this sound right to you? I can only hope that this is the problem- I have checked alot of stuff, but never have found anything wrong with the car until now.
