Cougar Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The code will generated because the CAS signal is not present. The system doesn't look at the ignitor signal. Hopefully you just have a bad connection to the CAS or the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 you say the alternator broke? how, what happened? do you mean the drive belt that runs the alternator? you say it "wrapped around the cam belt", what does that mean? did it wrap around and do any damage or just wrap around? you didn't mention that the cam belt was affected in any way. but the crank sensor is driven by the cam belt, so need to know exactly what happened to the belts. are the timing belts timed and working properly? make sure it's plugged in. easiest test would be to swap another distributor in. there's a recent thread about buying the crank angle sensor. search for distributor rebuild or something like that. the crank angel sensor in the distributor is sold for $67 i believe, link to the place it posted in the thread.
