[Shotimes] Sensor Question

[Steve Tatro]

Sounds like the symptoms of a bad camshaft identification sensor (CID).

There's a way to test, but I've never tried it.  Unplug your CID, start
your car.  It may take a few attempts to start (it has a chance of
guessing the position correctly without a CID) but it should fire right
up and run properly.  If this is the case, your CID is bad.  Don't fret
if you have no tach during this test, I believe the tach required CID
and CPS to function properly.

Good luck,

Subject: [Shotimes] Sensor Question


Just recently, I had a small incident where my tachometer stopped
working 
and my car shutoff right after start up.  Previously I've had some
starting 
problems.  My '95 ATX has about 107K on it right now.  I have trouble 
remembering now...it's the Crankshaft Position Sensor that would cause
this, 
right?  I get confused between that and the Camshaft Position Sensor.
Also, 
since this is my only car, I won't have time to bring it in the shop for

another couple of months.  Since my symptoms are just starting, is it
likely 
that I won't have much trouble in this time, or is it something that
tends 
to deteriorate rapidly?

TIA!
