I went with a new one because I could not trust the used ones after I saw those cracks. I want to take this car over 200000 miles so I have about another 78000 miles to go and did not want to do this again.

I have the $450 set aside for the EA as well JimF. I am afraid that the EA is dead as well. The ETA somehow shorted the EA (with wires touching in the ETA cable its possible). I ordered the ETA first to make myself feel better that I only changed the dead part not throw out money like the dealer wanted me to.

If the bad parts were the EA and the ETA then why would there be a code for a cam sensor? (From previous failure perhaps)

After these two are replaced how do I make sure the cam sensor is good?

Does the CE light come on for a cam sensor?
