I am having car issues that i am frustrated with now. I turn on the car and the vacuum is 0, and sounds like shit. When i rev it up it revs up fine and settles down good and then turns off. The car will run for a little bit if i have the cps unplugged, but it turns off as soon as i plug the sensor up. The car started good with my vacuum reading -18 and it idling perfect with the first new cps.. The next day is when it started doing it again. I just bought the a cps (second one) and it stills does it. If i have it plugged up and turn the car on, it shuts off real quick. I have replaced the IAC, re-timed the car plenty of times with no change and it being lined up well. All my grounds are good as well as my vacuum lines. What else could it be, i pulled the crank sensor and it looked fine, it is faily new. I would like to drive this car sometime before i die.

The wires are getting 9 and 5 volts, and the ground is good. I am thinking ecu for some reason, maybe i need to buy the crankshaft sensor.

did you have the cam magnet off for any reason? any posibility you accidentally left it off?


EDIT = EEK I was reading cam not CRANK disregaurd this

Ok, this is a list of things checkerd:

-replaced cam position sensor
-replaced IAT
-timing dead on
-crankshaft sensor (old, but will be replacing tomorrow)
-I got fuel and spark
-new msd coil pack

I am suspecting ecu, but still not sure. It starts with the cps connector disconnected from sensor, but after a minute it shuts off. Now with the connector on the sensor, it starts but shuts off immediately. Now i have to give it gass while starting in order for it to start. I will keep you updated.

Yeah, i bought a new map sensor a few days ago. It runs real rough after getting it started. The asd and fuel pump relays are new.

I pulled both cam gears and checked the dowels, they were fine. I replaced the cps two times, i have not replaced the crankshaft sensor yet. This has been a pain in the ass for me and everyone that is helping me with this. Thanks for suggestions.

I have a spare crank sensor if you wanna get it.

Thanks, i am gonna pick one up in a few. Cylinder number has spark, but not as great as the other 3 do, but i dont know much about spark, so i dont know if that has any indication for something else.
How do you tell if the crank sensor is bad, i am debating if i want to buy it since i am not sure. I thought when it goes bad, it wont start and my car starts and shuts off afterwards.


Edit: I replaced crank shaft position and the coolant temp sensor, still runs like crap and doesnt stay on. Once again, with the cam posistion sensor connected it shuts off immediately and with it unplugged it runs longer and my vacuum hits about 10. I am gonna buy an ecu and see if it is that because i have checked spark, fuel, injectors, CPS, Crankshaft position sensor, IAT, CTS, TPS good, IAC good, map sensor, no vacuum leaks, good compression, checked volts on almost all sensors, new coil pack, new wires, and if i forgot something i probably have checked it. I will update when i get the ecu.
