hello again,

did you check your fuel pressure with a gauge, or are you just basing the notion that your fuel pump is ok on the fact that the plugs are wet?

i was convinced that the ovp would fix yer problem, oh well at least you wont have to worry about that sucker for some time now.

"Took it for a drive -had two several second bouts of high reving, but they seemed to correct themselves. "

you mentioned that you rewired the engine harness, i would just like to remind you that the same biodegradable wire insulation is also used on the ETA or electronic throttle actuator. you may want to check and make sure that this is not causing your problems.


I'm not really sure about the camshaft sensor. i believe that all that exists on the camshaft(intake cam) is a solenoid, which is used for the variable valve timing (explanation of how it works: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/tech-help/166425-please-explain-how-variable-valve-timing-my-m104-works.html )


from experience, i have experienced a no start issue which was caused by the CPS (crankshaft position sensor) . i would suggest that you search the forum for CPS tests.


good luck
