[Shotimes] Crankshaft and Cam position sensors

[Paul L Fisher]

Dieing would not be cam sensor. From what I understand, the cam sensor is
used to start the engine. As soon as it is started, the crank sensor takes
over from there. A bad cam sensor would cause hard starting.

I got the camshaft sensor off... i was surprised to find out. only the top
screw was even in there.  THere was NOT a buttom screw in the hole and im
wondering if that could of led to the car dying on the road.  Anyways.. now
I got to find a screw to replace it.  Its a 5.5mm screw head but mostly i
care about the right threads & length.  I already have both pulley
tensioners off and the PS pump out.  I see the wiring for the crank sensor
going down into by the Water Pump but i'm REALLY dreading that crap.  I'm
debating putting it all back together and trying to crank.... man I wish
there was an easier way.

I'm almost tempted to just pay somebody to do it.  I hate messing with this
in the Louisiana heat =)

Anyways, So i have to take the Water pump out also ?
