lxman1, no i havent checked that yet. i have a relative in the business and he told me that it will still run if the cam sensor went bad, just not right. i got a hold of some wiring diagrams this morning and some other people think it might be the PCM diode or relay. would really like to get this figured out so i dont have to tow it to the shop(30 miles one way). it just seems like if i had spark it would start. i hate electrical problems. i'm going to mess with it after work. thanks for the reply
