leave my cam sensor in it when you get it back and see if it happens with that sensor...then go back to yours and try it again...I think we get too precise when we try to go the factory one better and add more science to the equation at times

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve, I put yours in, phased it and it came up with the same code.  That's why I sent the TR6 back  to Bob, but I'll try it again.


Going to check the wires tomorrow.

sorry...I forgot that you tried it... :)

IF you did not do it when you installed it...rotate the sensor about 1/8" ccw from the normal set point

One thing that I haven't tried is a separate ground wire from the module housing to the body...

Got the 6262 installed last week but haven't played with it yet.  Also got the TR6 back from Bob on Saturday but haven't got a chance to get it installed.  I'm going to add another ground directly to the TR6 and see what happens. 

Steve, I should get your cam sensor back to you sometime next week

Got the TR6 installed. Set Steve's cam sensor static and then set it dynamically with the engine running with the function of the TR6. All seems good.  Went for a drive.  8 miles later get the TR6 code 16 on the tach.  Go home and change out Steve's sensor for my old cam sensor.  Same procedure as before. Set it static and dynamically. All is well go for a drive. 8 miles later get the TR6 code 16 on the tach. Message Bob Bailey back and forth.  Call in a favor to Rich for some voltage readings on his car. It appears that voltage readings vary enough that Bob says I need a oscilloscope and he could nail this down.  The only thing I haven't done is pull the sensor wire out of the bundle and ring it out back to the module.  I've even thought of rigging up a test wire from the sensor back to the module...


Also thought of selling the TR6.



On a side note, I'm not happy with Mr. Bison.

Yes sir!  I've had both of my ECM's in there with your cam sensor and with my cam sensor. Didn't matter either way

That's exactly what Bob said.  He said he is working on the software to be a tad more tolerant of minor inconsistencie s but it's not available yet.

That's the thing with 30 year old wiring. I would like a new engine harness it would be good but it's a costly and time consuming project.
