I don't know if this is a continuation but what happened? Just didn't want to start one day or what?

The signal will go high or low depending on where the crank is in relation to the magnet in the sensor.

Exactly. Try cranking the motor and see if it changes when the crank is in different positions. Test coil pack and cam sensor resistance with specs in the haynes manual.

I would also like to add before you crank your engine disconnect the ignition wires from the coil. While cranking, your voltmeter should fluctuate from 0.4 to 4 volts. This is with the connector attached to the sensor and backprobing the signal and ground on the connector.
