Hey guys, i think thats what its called, anyway ive had coolant dropping on it and apparently thats whats causing my car to not run right at all (not drivable)

those two photos' show that part im talking about. Anyway is it just a case of removing the cable connection and the two bolts on the top and swapping it with the new part or do i have to have the motor in a certain position.?


also would coolant getting inside it and corroding the terminal cause the car to have electronic misfires, extremely rough idle and blowing smoke out of the exhaust?

When you get a new one, swap the gear from your old one to the new one. Gear will then match the auxillary gear. Fitting the new one is much like fitting a new dizzy.

If I can get the bloody dizzy out of the EL Wagon you will have no trouble with the cam sensor. :)

These little gems might help. If the plug is corroded, get another from a donor car and solder the wires. Heatshrink each wire and them wrap the whole wiring loom in tape. For the locating pin I used a 4mm drill bit which was shortened to miss the front of the engine (any 4mm dowl will do. Just remember to remove it when finished).
