So, that evil Check Engine light came on in the 95 V6. When I had it tested, it said that my Camshaft sensor was shot. Witch would explain why when I drove at low RPMs, the engine would skip a beat. Either way. Now that I had it replaced and reset the computer, it seems like my car doesn't have the get-up-and-go like it used to. Any idea why or what I did wrong?

Thanks.

Did you just get this information from a OBDII? Like from an Auto Parts store or did you go to a shop?

3.8Cobra

Got the part and the scan from Autozone and replaced it myself.

See, the thing with those OBDII code readers, (especially the ones that us part stores use), aren't a complete diagnostic reader. It basically just pulls codes and even then it may not be exactly what is wrong with it, it just gives you a general area of where to start. I assume they didn't tell you that at AutoZone?

3.8Cobra

No, they didn't.

You need to go have a shop or mechanic actually run a diagnostic on it. The little OBDII's we use at the part stores just pull codes, they don't actually diagnose, and a lot of the time, just because a camshaft code came up, doesn't actually mean it's the camshaft.

I know it's been a little while since I was in here, did you get the problem resolved?

Yeah, it's all good now. TPS also went bad, but I just got it resolved yesterday. I just happened to be lucky and bought a defective sensor. Thanks though.
