Why are the timing marks on my camshaft out of sync?

Why are the timing marks on my camshaft out of sync?

The cam and crank sensors must be synced exactly. It doesn’t matter if the belt is made of rubber. It’s a reinforced rubber belt so it can’t stretch to compensate for the mistiming. This shows how the timing marks must align exactly when installing the timing belt on your engine. http://www.ricekiller.com/forums/thread76681.html

What happens when one of the CAMS is off?

If one of the cams is off by one tooth the driver will notice a performance issue. If the left cam is off by one tooth you’ll get a check engine light. During the 5 days the car has been at the shop I hope they took the time to check if the timing belt was installed correctly.

How does a crankshaft camshaft position sensor work?

Since this type of Sensor only has two wires and no Power Supply, testing them is not that hard: One of the two wires is the Signal wire. Consequently, Sending the Signal to the Fuel Injection Computer or Ignition Module. The other wire acts as a Ground return.

Why is the camshaft out of sync on my Chrysler 300M?

They are out of sync and suggest that I should bring back to the dealer who replaced the timing belt. When I brought the car to the dealer, they told me that chrysler 300m 2004 tolerates up to 12 degrees difference so the cam and crankshaft are not out of sync. Nothing to do with the timing belt that they installed.

How can I tell if my camshaft sensor is faulty?

Check for the presence of power flowing through the circuit. Touch one of your probes to ground (any metal part on the engine) and the other probe to each one of the sensor wires. If neither wire has current, there’s a failure in the sensor’s circuit. Have your assistant crank or start the engine.

How can I tell if my crankshaft sensor is working?

Probe the wiring connectors and measure the output voltage in AC millivolts. Typically, this reading is around 200 millivolts, but this can vary from vehicle to vehicle. Check the manufacturer’s specifications. If there is no output voltage, then, obviously, your sensor is not working.
