    Not too familiar with these engines. Is that one with the angled connector the cam sensor?

    Thank you!

    The crankshaft position sensor is always inline along the block or front cover where about a crank main journal would be, or the center line of the crankshaft. The camshaft sensor will always be slightly higher as the cam is above the crankshaft in the block.

    Ok good! That was it then. The crank sensor was right below it.

    Thanks

    Hey @Heavyd on the crank sensor is it suppose to have a 12V signal as well or just the 5V?

    Ok. I got a spn 190 fmi 2, the sensor is new and got 5 volts at the connector. So maybe a bad signal return wire or bad ECM !?

    This is for crankshaft speed signal intermittent or incorrect. So double check the pins at the connector, and then follow the harness as best as possible. Broken wire or rubbed through somewhere.
