mrVR6 2 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 it drives fine could it be the cam/crankshaft sensors, I have swapped cam1 with cam2 to see if that works, is there anything else I could try as a rookie mechanic, many thanks T Link to post Share on other sites

mrVR6 2 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 p1347 is bank 2 cam/crankshaft sensors. os. sign. out of sequence so im guessing its the cam sensor. I have taken it off and cleaned it, swapped it with bank1 but have not tested it yet, im pretty sure I got to take the cam cover off to get to the chain cover and looks quiet complicated on these engines, ill let you know how it goes. thanks T Link to post Share on other sites

dubvr691 7 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 If you can see the chains, find the timing mark just to be on safe side since it's open anyway yeah sometimes a quick clean n tighten up is all it needs but check the cable too, had similar issues with engine nock sensor end of cable being loose, Link to post Share on other sites
