2002 Hyundai Santa Fe Cam Sensor Wiring


The car starts up just fine, but it will only stay running for 3 seconds, then it dies. I can restart it - no problem - everytime. But still the same thing, it only runs for exactly 3 seconds. The connector at the cam sensor has been taken apart - the 3 wires (a blue one, a orange one, and a black one) have been taken out of the atual connector. The are plugged onto the sensor individualy. I'm thinking bad contact? Wrong position? What is the correct position for these wires? The way the sensor is positioned on the engine, the terminals are top, middle, bottom.
