Cas (Cam Angle Sensor) Help!

[theDETlife]

Hi everyone, first time posting on this forum so take it easy.

Without thinking i've removed the cam angle sensor of my neo without making any marks. And making it worse i've turned the engine over a few times with the sensor off.

I was just wondering how serious this situation is? the pin/input shaft that going into the end of the cam shaft looks like it can only go in two ways. So is it a 50/50 change that it will go in the position that it was previously in before i took it out? or will it be 180 degrees out of its original position and will send the wrong signal to the ecu.

how noticeable will the effects be if it were to be in the wrong position. will the fix be as easy as rotation the pin/shaft 180 degrees?

Any help appreciated

Thanks.

I think you need to get the timing marks lined up so its on TDC, then slide the Cas in so the half moons join, then hopefully theres a mark where it was sitting or else its about half way and need checked with a timing light

oky thanks for the reply man!

This mark you mentioned where are they located? Im unsure of what position the timing marks were when i removes the cad, so i was wondering if i did put it back at TDC theres a chance it still maybe in the wrong position.

It only goes in one way, the slot is offset, line up the bolts withthe old marks, and check with a timing light

Exactly this. Doesnt matter where the cam is, as long as you have the half moon (these sometimes break but sounds like yours is there) you can slide the CAS over that, rotate it to line up with the bolt holes, do the bolts up loosely and then get a timing light and set the timing

Neo doesn't use the spline and half moon system but can still only go on one way.

Whether you have marked it or not, you still have to set timing with a light.

The marks are never going to be good enough.

Sweet Thanks guys!
