couldnt even get the car out of the driveway today...chug chug..tach/no tach...stall....so I reached in and unplugged the cam-sensor...after a half dozen tries i started her up and did a lap around the block: A-OK.
so...even though the problem was intermittent (though apparently getting worse) does this mean the cam sensor is bad? what are the chances that the whole assembly is bad (ie: the long thing that goes down into the engine)..or is it more likely just the sensor itself? (ie: the screw on cap thingy that the plug goes into).
AND...i suppose i might try and do it myself (i've never done much work on cars before..not even sure how to remove the belts!) but if i were to the bring the new cam sensor to my mechanic, how long should he charge labor-wise to install it?
thanks!
