![]() After I agreed to pay for the senor they then said "oh there is no data telling us what's bad from the computer so it must be bad". Originally they said they would find the problem for $250. (insane move) They said the cam position sensor was bad. I checked all the components from your manual (bless the angel who has put the factory workshop manual on line for you) Out of insane desperation I took it to the dealer. It did a motor swap and was very careful. When a took the intake off I discovered that the butterfly valves/ intake side air regulators had come loose and had fallen into the motor. The old motor was running just a bad knock. Until the next problem arises, this is jms_msp signing off. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Even though this situation caused much heartaches and headaches I feel my knowledge of the msp just grew tenfold. I’m so happy with my msp, it’s driving like it was new. Did every additive possible such as lucas in the oil, sea foam in the gas, oil, and vac line and cleaned many valves and the intake manifold with carb cleaner. As I finished the swap and started the car, the engine purred like a cat. So there I was, again, on another mission to swap this fs. The newer one on the other hand is in great shape. The one he initially gave to me was so disgustingly full of sludge and in poor shape that it looked as if some one popped the head cover off and gave it a Cleveland steam roller. ![]() So with no extra charge he replaced the crumby one for an 03 fs, the one I ask for in the first place. Explained the situation to him and 5 minutes later he was on the search for another fs, but this time it would be a domestic engine. So I turned it off and called the guy who sold me the engine. But like I said, “knock, knock here” it was like listing to change bounce around in the dryer. Changed the crank pulley, put the key in the ignition and with a knock, knock here and a tick tack there, the engine started. Luckily one of the many wrecking yards had one. i took a trip to Irwindale, ca, on a scavenger hunt for a 01-03 crank pulley. Sport23 directed me to some great advice and so took it and ran with it. Please help, I would appreciate your suggestions as to how to get my baby up and running again. I feel my knowledge of this car is pretty good, but this has me stumped. Do you think it could be a loose connection on the wire harness? Has this ever happen to you? and Should I change the CMP? it was supposed to be a routine engine swap, but now its turning into a pain. We decided to replace the ckp sensor, to our dismay the car did not start and again the P0335 code popped up. He did exactly what I did except he stuck his hand under the intake manifold and fondled the some wires and vwalah! It started to crank! We still wondered why it was not getting fuel or spark, so I ended up buying a scanner and it read a P0335 code. At first the car would not even crank, so I checked all the connections from the starter, sensors, ect., and all seemed well. Dropped the motor in hooked up the wire harness and to my dismay, the car would not start. I blew a hole in the block so I bought a donor motor and swapped all the parts over.
