partsgroup has one for $45 so next steps are to swap that out and also eyeball my camshafts.
Y8s, do you have a guess where/how/what setting/input the Hydra displays the cam angle sensor?

Fortunately, your '03 cams are stronger than NA cams, so I really hope this isnt the issue, but checking your cams is free, and involves only a 10mm socket for the valve cover bolts, and a 12mm socket at the coil pack mount. Be patient if your valve cover does not pick up effortlessly, and everything will be ok.

Yes, it is rare, but at least you agree that it has happened. There is at least one recent documented case on this forum.

There might be a fuseable link blown. If that is the case you might have a big electrical short in the wiring. You will need the Haynes manual to find the link or talk to the parts counter people to help you find it. Also could be a bad cable or a loose connection to the battery. Check alternator wiring

I'm sitting out at my car right now.
I swapped the cam angle sensor out, no go. Jeremy didn't know where there is a readout od the cam angle sensor in the hydra.
The crank angle sensor works- rpm is visible when cranking.
I didn't" pull the valve cover but I looed through the oil cap and saw that the exhausr cam was turning when cranking.
For the **** of it I tried leaning It out and richening it but it didn't"help.
Car is still going eh eh eh eh whirr as if **** is out if phase.

and you're sure the crank sensor isn't loose and the crank trigger wheel hasn't moved relative to the crank pulley? you will still see spark and RPM if the wheel is rotated incorrectly.

I just checked and the sesnsor is secure and the correct gap. I have an ati damper and it has two crank trigger points on it. I think they are part of the damper. I wiggled on them and they didn't move.
