HI ALL
THE CAMBELT SNAPPED AFTER TAKING IN A FOREIGN BODY AND PART OF THE CASING. WE HAVE REPLACED BELT VALVES AND THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE.
HOWEVER 5 SECONDS AFTER START UP THE MIL LIGHT COMES ON. IF I CLEAR IT WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND DO NOT SWITCH OF AND RESTART THE LIGHT IS FINE.
THE CODE IT SETS IS CAM POSITION SENSOR.I HAVE TESTED BOTH CAM & CRANK SENSOR ON SCOPE AND BOTH PRODUCE NICE TRACE. I HAVE SCREENED BOTH THINKING STARTER WAS INTERFERING WITH THEM.THE CAM SENSOR HAS BEEN CHANGED THE BELT TIMING AND TENSION I HAVE CHECKED AND DOUBLE CHECKED HAS ANYONE ANY IDEAS. I HAVE CHECKED EARTH LEADS AND NORMAL SILLY FAULTS NOW I AM STUCK FOR WHAT TO CHECK OTHER THAN WILL IT BURN!!! DC
