Cam Timing Nightmare

摘要

Dear Roy, I have a 2000 Dodge Intrepid with a 2.7L engine that will run without the cam sensor signal, but if it should jump time a tooth, it will stop the injectors. When the water pump bearing fails, it does so silently This extra limp-in mode for cam sensor failure is not in the service manual, nor is there anything about sensors being out of sync. There's also no information about this in Mitchell or on my Genisys scanner. I couldn't find a TSB about it, and the local dealer's head mechanic had no knowledge of this either. I'm not the first to tackle this problem on this car. All this adds up to this problem being a real bastard to diagnose. Can you tell us more about this?
