I know this thread is old...but its good you continued it.

If it runs with the sensor unplugged, it sounds like it is not syncing properly. Possible mechanical issue. Personally I would check the cam timing, and be sure the cam trigger wheels are tight as well as the crank pulley bolt.

Any history of work done to the car?

 

I'm not sure that code number is right. seoul2k what do you have for a code...

 

if i recall correctly it was p1361 which is the intermittent tdc sensor.... i don't think it was that, but my friend says it was that code... i rewired the whole ecu where it was spliced before from a previous owner installing a vafc, but i was driving on the highway and it suddenly died on me... and it wont start until i unplug the stupid sensor lol

 

how bout you get the exact definite code and them i can help.

 

that is where the problem lies haha.... since it wont start it wont throw a code.... and since we can only get it to start when the sensor is unplugged it throws a code for that...

 

Lets keep this to 1 thread only please?
