Did you use the TR6 to set the sensor? It works slick fire it up and adjust like a distributor then tighten it down mine lost signal once when I had tossed the cam sensor in once I set it with the TR6 it was right as rain.

First set it with a volt meter before installing the TR6.  Didn't change it after installing the TR6. Then Saturday evening I set it again with the TR6 after getting the code. Haven't messed with it after it did it again today.

Found the diagram on Steve's sight.  Now just need to get off of work so I can go ring out some wires.  Thanks again Steve for putting all that info in a one stop shop

Regardless, I still feel like a unwilling sex trade worker when doing it.

So I ring out the wires with the volt meter. No issues there. De-pin the connector at the cam sensor and pin K at the ignition module and retention the pins. Re-pin the connectors. Set the cam sensor with the TR6 and all seems well. Go for a little drive and bam there goes the TR6 code 16, cam sensor signal lost. 


Anybody have a cam sensor cap I can try? I gave the other cap I had to fella up in the Waxahatchie area.  I can't seem to find anyone that just sells the cap. Thanks in advance for the help

Sent you a PM.  Appreciate you!


I guess I should rephrase my earlier statement about the cap. I can find the cap with the LED just prefer to have a stock cap.

Let me know if steve's doesn't work out. I have a cam sensor in my stuff somewhere I can dig it up for you to try. It is a used piece I bought as a backup so it is untested.

Got the cams sensor that Steve sent yesterday from the mail man. Thanks Steve! I owe you one big time! 

Got it installed and set with a volt meter.  Reset the ECM, engine would turn over but not fire and there goes the tach signal from the TR6... 16.  I then removed the TR6 and installed the old stock ignition module and coil.  Reset the ECM and BAM, engine fires right up.  Drove it around about 30 minutes with no issues.

TR6 is boxed up and ready to ship out to Bailey engineering today.  I ran a TR6 on my white T with no issues but that one went with the car when I sold it.  Wonder what happened with this spring batch of TR6's or is mine just an isolated case?
