[Shotimes] Hard Starting at times

[Bob]

I replaced my Cam Sensor a few weeks ago and that cured my hard starting
problem.....symptoms were 1) cold started normally and ran fine  2) if
turned off once warmed up it wouldn't fire up right, seemed to be trying to
backfire and took several attempts to start  3) when this hard starting
happened, the tach died and the engine seemed to lose some power, but once
completely cooled down would start fine again and the tach would work again.
Purchased a new Cam Sensor from Autozone for right at $30 and right at 15
minutes later had my car back to it's old self again. Easy starting and
hasn't had any hard start problems again.  If you need to run the car I
suggest not laying on the ignition to start the car, I had better luck just
bumping until starting. Did not want it to backfire at all. I think the part
# is R-134 for it as if you go to autozone they will tell you your car
dosen't use one, or have them look it up for a '92, their computer system
isn't the best.
