So I'm not quite to the bottom of this problem yet, but as things sit while I wait for the new part to arrive (or better put the store to open) I had a friend plug off the plug hole for cylinder #1, and am certain that I'm at TDC, put the OPDA back in, plugged the sensor in, crank it and nothing, just a lot of racket, choking, sputtering noises. I say F**k it! And decide to just wait for the part (A complete OPDA with sensor already on top). I'm in sitting on the couch and thought, "why don't I just go loosen the hold down ring, and rotate the OPDA and see if that makes a difference"? I do this rotate the entire assembly so that the plug is facing the passenger tire, basically 25° off of how it should normally sit (facing the firewall), crank it and she fires up and runs smooth as butter, I tighten the hold down ring, and take it up the street, runs better than it ever has. My plan is to get the new OPDA on Monday, it should come with the "tool" to line it up, and get it so it's sitting in the right position. Anyways, I suppose this is just a learning situation in that If you're going to replace the camshaft POS sensor, DO NOT EFF with the OPDA at all, just unscrew the two 5.5mm bolts on top of it, pull it out, put the new one on, and plug it back in. If one is going to pull the OPDA out, they had better make marks so it goes back in the exact way that it came out! Lesson learned. If my damn OPDA had the holes in it, to line up, there would be no issues, however mine as can be seen in the pics clearly does NOT have these alignment holes. I just want to thank any who responded as I would have had no idea on how to get things reset back to TDC. Thank you all! I hope that I can return the favor in the future for people here. Y'all are some really good people!
