Ehhh... i have tested every sensor you can think of, timing was out by 4* got it set to 12* BTDC and still no luck. Maf is good, i've tried everything. It is running lean, pulled plugs and checked color. It seems to run pretty good after it sits and cools off for a few hours, then after like 2 minutes or less of driving it starts to act up. Ideas?

Whats your timing set at?

Dah reading > me.

Try swapping out dizzys and see if the problem clears up. From the codes it seems like you have a problem with the hall sensor or the wiring.

Did the PO change the timing belt, or could it have jumped a tooth? You may make sure your cam and crank are timed correctly.

Mike, the codes occur when off. So the codes aren't anything, Spence was right on that one. Uhm, timing is at 12* and yes the timing belt was changed. I'll see about finding a dizzy for it..

OBD1 will always have those codes without the engine running.

Ah ok, not much experience with OBDI. Although I do have 2x2 adapter for VCDS.

IIRC you can change the hall sensor but you have to pull the dizzy apart, right?

Don't think you can buy just the hall sensor...

it might not be a senser it might be a wire that is bad some were the only really good way to find that is unplug all sencers and ecu and start runing resitance to find what gos were and may be what is not being read buy the ecm
