| Question: |
Well, the check engine light didn't come on again I drove the car for 10 miles and start it 4 times. You would associate the stalling problem with the timing beltproblem? How the cam and crank sensor has to do with the coil pack? |
| Answer: | Jose, A stalling or hesitation problem can be caused to your timing being off. Your car's computer (ECU) controls when your spark is to fire based mainly on the positions of your camshafts and crankshaft. The ECU knows the position of your crankshaft and camshafts from the respective position sensors. The ECU will not send a signal to the coil pack to fire the plug until the crank and cams are in the correct position. And everything is kept in this "perfect" timing by your timing belt. If you know anyone that has a timing light, you can confirm if your timing is set properly.
