New guy here, a little embarrassed to ask this question in a room full of pros, but no pain, no gain.
I replaced my 94 2.3 with another 94 2.3. This one is from a Mazda, and has a camshaft position sensor on the side of the block below the intake manifold.
My other engine has it blocked off. Do I leave this thing unplugged, or take it out?
The wiring harness that came with the engine has a line that plugs it in, the original does not, both harnesses are in good shape so no harm either way. I just don't want to damage this engine because I was ignorant to the facts. This truck has been good to me, and I want to do the same for it.
Hey, she went 250,000 plus pulling a trailer with 3.45 rear end gears before she cracked a valve on #3. Y'all would be in love too, I've read all 78 pages of posts! :icon_cheers:
Thanks in advance if someone knows about this unusual situation.
 
It will be fine ,just leave it in there unplugged.
 
Thank you much! I can't wait to put it all back together!:icon_cheers:
 
94 Ranger going to hell!!!

OK, so I have replaced the timing belt, reset everything. Undid the spout circuit, undid the battery, tried it with the camshaft position sensor on and off, replaced crank position sensor, and this thing is still missing like a big dog.
I'm frustrated as all get out and need to walk away, but too desperate for my truck to quit.
Any ideas what else to do?:annoyed:
