i don't know what it could be....sometimes the car doesn't even want to start but when it does start it revs high for a few min then it comes down to a perfect idle... sometimes it kind of low but it doesn't cause any problems.... the thing that got me is that its like a timing problem only under boost its like the car is chocking on the air its getting from the supercharger... very terrible misfire but only engine code is showing tps always high p0316 engine misfire detected at start up.... looked at camshaft sensor and the connector is gone only thing there was two wires hanging.... my confusion is that there is two wires and its three wire sensor.....


Made it to the junkyard got a complete harness and wiring fix the camshaft problem.... But still a problem with misfire will driving

I think I figured out my problem... Ive was paying attention to the clues that was giving to me... Exspecially the hard starts and sometimes no starts... But I checked the crank position sensor and its bad going change this weekend but was wondering is there a performance harmonic balancer for the series 1 engine or is the series 2 balancer the same?
