i had a small drip from the cam cover by the turbo that dripped on the exhaust manifold and burned.. soi took the cam cover off and whatnot and put some sealant on it and reinstalled everything.. i go to start the car and now it wont start..i took the cam position sensor out also to see if the o ring was good. checked it to make sure it was aligned numerous times and now all the car does it turn over with nothing.. im getting aggravated? any ideas?

Check the wires from the cps to the harness side. Even if they look good, wiggle them and see if there are any breaks internally. Its probably wiring.

Werd- The CPS's wires and the alignment of the unit itself prolly make up 75% of all no-start issues for these engines.

well see the thing is the female connector of it broke in half so i just have the 4 little pins sitting in there and then plug in the male part from the harness and its always worked.. i mean at this point i really dont know how to check to make sure the wires are correct or not.. i dont see where they could be loose.. driving me nuts.. i know the cps is aligned right sooo it has to be somethin with wires.. im confused though.. because its always worked before

you wont like my answer, but idc.

take the timing cover off and line the cam gears up with the crank. Line the CPS up and reinstall it. If it's not a wiring probably then it will crank up and run.

all that is setup perfect.. ive done that before too set the cam gears where they should be with the crank at zero
