NewZed Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Describe the engine management and ignition system. Megasquirt, Electromotive, Haltech, etc. Doesn't matter if it's an RB or an L or an LS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softopz Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Its a long shot but considering you removed your cam cover and coilpacks. I'd look there first probably cam sensor plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Actually, that's probably a short shot. RB probably does matter, with it's cam sensor mounted up there. My point was really "know your system". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamaka Z Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 turns out the CAS positioning key is broken so when i reinstalled the CAS i didnt didnt get it aligned properly and it thru off the timing i reinstalled the CAS lining it up with the broken drive pin key and it fired right up. anybody have any experience replacing the CAS drive pin.

NewZed Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I've seen some discussions about it on this forum. Sounded like a difficult fix, if I recall right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Here's the one I remember. Stony seems to know what he's doing and he had problems. But it is doable. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/113280-rb-cas-drive-gear-replacement-info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yep that worked great for me. just remember to install correctly. I was lucky and had the ability to phase my coils. if not I would have had to pull it out and reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
