Electrical problem
1996 Plymouth Voyager 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

engine cranks but does not start, engine will start if the wiring for the camshaft sensor is disconected. The cam sensor has been replaced with a new one, but it still only cranks with the wiring disconnected. Maybe the new cam sensor was a bad one, please help any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
