I noticed in another thread a comment about the mistake of wiping out the CMP. I also recall reading that the CMP should be replaced after timing belt failure but I haven't been able to confirm this.

Is the CMP that sensitive? Should it be a first stop on the road to finding a no start issue?

Thanks,

If you are referring to the camshaft position sensor it is not delicate. It works magnetically - no mechanical wear. Wiring to the sensor could be a problem though.

If your car will not start and you are sure there is fuel and ignition being supplied I would look into the MAF (manifold air flow) sensor. This is discussed in numerous previous posts.

WDCMPSF?

That's short for . . .

What does CMP stand for?

CMP Sensor == Cam Position Sensor

Thanks for the response! I've considered the MAF. I'm going to see if there is a test for it. I replaced it recently but I've read in here that they are a bit touchy. I just can't buy parts I don't need so I have to be very careful about what I get - especially when it could be a number of things.

BTW - the CMP and the wiring are good.

Thanks again!
Bryan
