You should go with "testing and diagnosing" instead of "shooting the parts cannon".

 

How should I test the cam pos sensor?

 

So I can verify 12v at the Green/orange wire going into the coil. It was just over 12v up to 14v.

Not sure what to check next.

 

I have a 2 channel oscilloscope I use to see these pulses live. Plenty of vids on u tube to show this diagnostic.

 

All I have is a multimeter.

 

So can you FedEx your oscilloscope to snag so he can check his signals cause

 

Nice idea... but please dont do that. My dad may have one.

 

I already started throwing parts at it... all I have left to buy is a cam position sensor and then install that and the crank pos sensor, and the coil. After that, all I would have left is plugs, plug wires, and PCM (repair).

 

I found a multimeter / oscilloscope (combo) for $65. I need a better multimeter anyway. and this one will test the square wave from the Cam Pos Sensor and the Crank Pos Sensor.

 

anyone know what this square wave will look like if the sensor is bad?

 

Dave, Why don't you just send him $400 to buy his own? or:

See my posts re: Hantek esp. with 4x4jeepmanthing.

Actually, I have offered to loan my Hantek to anyone (with security deposit and they pay all postage).

We've talked a lot about 6022. For our purposes here probably better than 1008C.

Although if I had to do it now probably go with the entry level Pico.

Right now playing with a phone app for those days that might prove harmful to the laptop...

 

I got this one:

 

Did you check your oxygen sensor(s). I had somewhat similar issues and it was a bad upstream sensor.

Any vacuum leaks? I had a few leaks too and found them with a cigar.
