Sure sounds like a cam position sensor issue?? Mine was just doing the same thing.. Maybe if you replaced the sensor already... the plug is damaged or full of oil?

is the WTS light coming on when you try to start it? Is the tach hitting 200rpm? have you checked your fuel pressure? Valve cover harness inspection?

I figure i'd hit the basics...

Richard

EDT: I am not sure if you are saying that it now wont start or it dies intermittently?

Check your basics as I listed above... WTS light, RPM, Fuel pressure while cranking.

Right... reading failure....

If you are getting RPM while cranking I think your CPS is ok... but I am far from an expert...

What fuel pressure are you getting at the canister while cranking...?

A CPS can be bad and still read rpm's I have o e in my tool box that does it. But here's the odd thing with it in the tac shows 200 rpm but the scangauge shows 125
