Disconnect the cam sensor and try to fire it up...might take more than one try. See if it runs differently/better. Double check plug wire layout:

This is the one you want...early style: Keep looking.

Avg. 20# cu.ft. - ouch. One would be bad enough, but two :( Either have a moonroof? Insurance...comp, at least?

Yes, special. There are currently no new replacement units available, however. If at all possible, it is best to keep what you have if you wish...
