Well, like I have said, its in, and it starts, barely. Something is wrong with the timing, tdc, something. That I am pretty sure of. I have to have the cam gear adjust to almost 14 degrees advanced (#7 hash mark) for it to even start. Then, it sounds really, wrong. It just doesnt sound like it should. If I try any other setting on the cam gear, it just cranks and cranks, but doesnt fire up. What I was wondering, is does anybody know how the AEM cam gears work? There are 4 lines around the edge of the gear, and one has a little circle on it. This is what I assume is TDC right? Here is a pic:



So, that should be just a tad past tdc right?

Anybody have any ideas? I am only throwing one code, which is a water temp sensor. I highly doubt that is the problem. I just need to swap out the sensor.
