Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor and MAF later... still problems
Re: Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor and MAF later... still problems
Can I step in here and say something? I just now noticed this thread, and it bothers me that something was missed back many, many posts.
With the developments in the last few posts, I'd say its time to really look at the pressure. Get it RIGHT first, (54 to 61 PSI) then, if the car won't run right, move on from there. My next step would be BOSCH cam and crank sensors, even if there is no P-code being tripped or no engine light.
I hate to say it, but:
Of course, this all assumes you didn't start out with a tank of bad gas.

I guess no one lives in his area.. or are just too busy to lend a hand on this one... Someone knowledgable in these cars local would a big asset to fixing it as things really do not add up here.

Yea, I wish I was closer. But I say that a lot - I've assisted with Top problems for people, it seems, all over the USA.
And I know, if you don't have good information, it's hard to help. And unless you work in cars a lot, when your car gives you trouble, you really don't know what information to post. The FIRST step in troubleshooting ANYTHING, is understanding how that thing (or system) works. Most of us don't understand cars at all.
I need an SRT so I can learn about superchargers, catch cans, intercoolers and stuff like that!

Nope.. just getting an early start on this year..
I was dealing with SRT fever.. then the wife noticed blaze red roadsters with vanilla interior were "REALLY" nice.. and I could live with that as a second Crossfire.. and it saves me the leaking IC problems.. the bad johnson..etc. LOL.
Not to mention I can already go fast enough to get a ticket in 6 seconds..
Think I'm just going to put the Turbo wish on the wish list.. at this point I really don't feel obligated to turn my car over to them for photo opps and install... can't say I feel obligated at all. So it's most likely going to be down the typical NA upgrade route for me and call it good.

Re: Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor and MAF later... still problems
I have never looked at the parts you are checking, but it sounds like the fuel pickup tube is not below the fuel level or your fuel filter is plugged up. If you push on the schrader valve on the fuel rail and nothing comes out you are not getting fuel from the pump. Put a rag around the fuel rail at the schrader valve and push the pin in , or check with an AC gauge set. Don't blow yourself up, but purge the gauge set after you are finished.

Where is it? And is it in the same place on the SRTs and N/As?
I thought it was at the passenger rear side of the engine, on the top, at what would be the 'end' of the fuel rail. I went looking for it and apparently I don't understand.

Re: Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor and MAF later... still problems
If you look at this passenger side at about NW of the red oil check dipstick, its the black cap at the @45 deg down bend in the silver fuel rail line. The plastic black cap is there for protection. I am about as sure as I can be this is the cap for the schrader valve on the fuel rail system, for the N/A.
To further help, it is JUST ABOVE the front engine cover black rubber grommet!
If I am incorrect, Oooops!

Yea, that's right. I had the passenger side of the engine right - but it's the FRONT not BACK of the engine. (I know 'cause in the pic I saw, I think Woody posted it in another thread, that round thingy was next to it.)
I'm sure you are right.

And YOU didn't even need a compass! He he he he he he he he!
And I am not going to tell anyone where I got the picture from but it was not from the forum!

You are correct, it is on passanger side at the front. It is very close to the big rubber bumper where the engine cover attaches. the cap is where the schrader valve is located. Look on the forum for diagram of the fuel system. Very easy to find.
Re: Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor and MAF later... still problems
Hi All,
Back from the dead.
Here is the story.
I believe the camshaft was bad at that time but did replace it with a shitty brand.
At that time did replace the MAF with shitty brand too.
When I replaced the fuel pump, the output was different and I discovered it did form an elbow and I think at that time fuel was struggling to get to the engine, this is why the pump was running a lot!!!!!
New PUMP . Walbro
NEW MAF BOSCH from az auto bahn
NEW CAMSHAft from BOSCH
So a lot of pain in the neck for, in fiurst time, trying to change parts with the wrong brand..
SO LESSON LEARNT. buy BOSCH... DONT BE CHEAP

Re: Camshaft sensor, Crankshaft sensor and MAF later... still problems
Yes and it feels good.
After clearing all this mess. I had a P0102 code from MAF. Got the bosch MAF and all good now.
Just ordered a 74mm and I hesitate to buy a DCAI from NEEDWINGS and have it tune again by Eurocharge.
But yes again, it feels really good
