i dont think it is. i just got it passed through emissions and the mechanic checked the cat.

 

map went out today, replaced it already.
manifold bolts are torqued.
still misfiring though.
cant find the camshaft position sensor at any part dealers

should i have a compression test done?
any other advice?

 

Rockauto has it its also called sync pulse generator ignition pick up and stator lol.

 

thanks Slick. you've been a lot of help through this.

im gonna pick up a stator and see if it resolves the problem.
definitely praying that it fixes this issue.

 

I seriously doubt it will fix it. Have you considered a remanufactured distributor since they come with the sync generator?

 

I've thought it but im not still doubting every new part. the fact that it only happens when it has warmed up fully, still confuses me on what it could be.

 

Warmed up fully points to the oxygen sensor.........

 

its new and didnt solve the problem.

brain buster right?

 

Take the dizzy cap off and see if you've got any side to side play in the shaft.

 

will do when i get off work. ill keep you informed.

 

That cause random misfire?

 

problem solved.

dead cylinder 6

 

Compression test?

 

hoping sir, that you mean a bad plug wire........

on Number 6.....

please elaborate, so I know what to look at in case I get same prob sometime.

thanks, and best of luck!
