Yeah that’s where I’m at now, I mean I can see a couple overheats causing those 23 year old sensors to start kicking out, add to that being removed and handled during the rebuild. And old vvt tested at 9ohms, way out of the 7-7.5ohm spec. But now it’s all been eliminated. Gotta be something in that head. I just don’t understand why it can be driven hard for an hour or so with no issues, running great no less, then suddenly the issue pops up as a cam sensor. Damn I miss simple cars.

Literally joined to ask around about this! Bought the car about a year ago, drove it cross country and back. Added the spring lift recommended on this forum and 31” tires, replaced a ton of worn suspension parts, new radiator and fan/clutch. All seemed to be going well. Left for another cross country trip recently and blew a head gasket, leaking exhaust into the coolant. Took it to a trusted mechanic for repairs, took off with it and made it 30 miles before I lost power and got a cel. Bank 2 (driver side) camshaft position sensor code. Have since replaced both sensors and the bank 2 VVT solenoid. Still having the problem once it’s warm and under load (towing a smaller trailer, maybe 7-800lbs). Never had this problem before the head job. Anybody have any advice???? I need to have this car in Washington state to put it on a ferry to Alaska may 1st. I’m getting a bit desperate. Oh, 191K miles on it. Super clean, one owner, dealer maintained before I bought it with 160K on it. Many thanks for reading and the knowledge I’ve gained from this forum! Lemme see if I can take a low resolution photo I can post, the ones I have ate too big…
