Re: Cam Sensor

I need to order a new sensor as well

The new one I got put on got trashed by the sensor ring on the pulley. I was hoping to get away with putting the original one back on, which seemed to be working.

Then I had a thought....what happens when it gets warm?

So I hooked it up to the oscilloscope and played a hot-air paint stripper on it. Sure enough, once it got a little bit warm the pulses vanished and it read a constant 12V.

Drat.
