Default cam sensor not working ?

Everything was working fine - so of course had to make changes!

Added FastLXR 102 and NW 102 TB now I hear the cam sensor is not functioning properly?

Is there something that can easily happen to cause the cam sensor problem (from your experience) when making above mentioned changes ?

This is an 2006 LS2 in my 2000 C5 convertible

It always helps to get input from the vast experience out here!!

Maybe it got disconnected during the install. If you are running an LS2, then you should have a conversion harness that plugs into the sensor up front in the timing cover. Then it runs to the rear of the motor where it plugs in to the car harness.

Are you getting any codes? Is the car starting and running, when it starts is it having a hard time or turning right over? Just swapped out my cam sensor because of code P0343 coming up, what is it you are hearing?

The good news was the part wasn't all that bad, less than $60, the bad part was its buried under the cowl and the intake had to come off, not all that bad.

Hopefully thats all it is for you, in my case it was the cam bolts backing out, much bigger job.
