Re: 2003 Sorento 3.5 V6 Only has spark on 2 cylinders

Be very careful on the cam sensor as if you drop the bolts you will have to pull the other cover off. I purchased a 1/4 drive 10mm socket from ebay with a magnet in it to hold the bolts. I'm glad you found the problem. Watch the rubber gromets that fit in the holes of the timing cover as they can break off easily.
I got the cam sensor in yesterday. I used a magnet stick to start each bolt and then used a short 3/8 extension on my blackhawk wrench which has a hangle that you twist to turn the socket. This works great in tight areas like this until it gets tight and you snug it down like you are using a normal wrench. I have seen the cheaper stanley version of this wrench in walmart if anyone want one.

It is running good but I am going to install spark plugs to make it run better. Still has a very very slight shake. No check engine lights. I drove it today and now I have a new set of issue unrelated to the engine.
