Connect the battery ground cable.The camshaft position sensor (CMP) is used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to determine the position of the camshaft in relation to the crankshaft. Connect the CMP sensor electrical connector. Install the camshaft position (CMP) sensor.ĥ. Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly so the arrow on the special tool is 38 degrees from the centerline of the engine.Ĥ. NOTE: During installation, the arrow on the special tool will rotate clockwise until the oil pump intermediate shaft and the camshaft gear engages. Failure to do so could result in gear failure. Install the special tool on the camshaft synchronizer by rotating the tool until it engages the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing and the armature.ĬAUTION: It is very important to coat the gear on the camshaft synchronizer with engine oil prior to installation. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.ġ. CAUTION: A special tool must be used during the installation of the new synchronizer assembly. CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft or camshaft during the removal and installation procedure or the fuel system timing will be out of time with the engine and possibly causing engine damage. If the electrical connector is not in the correct position, the synchronizer assembly must be removed, the alignment tool and the assembly reinstalled if the engine has not been rotated from top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke on the No.

Do not loosen the synchronizer bolt after the alignment tool has been removed in order to align the CMP electrical connector for any reason.

The synchronizer assembly is not adjustable. Installation CAUTION: After installation, do not loosen the synchronizer bolt and rotate the synchronizer assembly.
