About a month ago I got the gas tank and the fresh fuel pump installed. I was once again disappointed when I went for a quick drive. It went like this: “So I zip down the street one more time and whip the car around. Wide open throttle in first and then the car falls on its face.” Now it’s definitely time to look at that Check Engine light flashing in my face.
Turns out that the Dodge Neon (and I’m sure most cars) doesn’t like it when the camshaft position sensor stops reporting its position. 
After pulling the codes it reported this error and sourcing a replacement from Harry’s garage, it’s fixed! I ditched the Blazer and drove it home.
Tomorrow – We’ll be at Cars & Coffee in Irvine bright and early!
Getting the car together for this car show was a good excuse to make a list of all that needs to be done over the next couple of months. If you haven’t seen it, we updated the Upcoming Events page. Our first event this year will be the all new North Nevada Rally!

Yeah – but this means that she occasionally has to “reboot”.
CMP! How ironic that I *almost* called you one night last week to ask if you had any ideas why the 420A I just installed wasn’t lighting off. CEL returned 11, which is loss of CMP/CKP sensor. Trips the ASD relay in the DOHC cars, resulting in no spark, resulting in many curse words.
Turns out a vital connector between the front and rear harnesses was left disconnected and BOTH halves were wedged between heater hoses. Doh! Glad to hear the issue got resolved for you too, sir. Cheers!
