Checking the cam sensor

[turbowrenchhead]

I did a search at gnttype.org. Found nothing. I had the sensor marked for tdc. The marks got rubbed off and now I dont know where to set it. I can't remember how to check it electrically. Can anyone point me in the right direction. If I'm not mistake I thought that your suppose to have 0 volts at tdc.

No luck???? On the page he referenced there's adjusting your cam sensor parts 1,2 and 3...

There is a way of probing one of the wires and seeing if you have 12 or 0 volts. I don't remember where I seen it.
That tech article doesnt tell me where to put it. The marks where the hold down bolt are gone because it got painted and my marks are gone as well. So I have no idea witch way its in there.

The very first setting cam sensor part 1 article tells you to back probe the middle wire and look for 0 or 7.5 volts. If the car isn't running you basically need to go thru the whole process of finding TDC and marking the balancer and setting the sensor correctly. If its running ok then you should be able to use the voltmeter backprobe method and fidn where your at and get it set.
