If unable to determine root cause of no start condition using published SI diagnostics proceed with the following. Remove cam cover assembly and perform steps below to con rm exhaust camshaft reluctor orientation. During disassembly the vacuum pump drive lugs should also be inspected for damage. (Photo below show damaged vacuum pump drive lugs) Rotate the exhaust camshaft to position the 2D matrix marking on the camshaft hex in the 12"o'clock position. (Reference photo below for 2D marking.) Once the exhaust camshaft 2D matrix has been positioned at 12"O'clock. Verify the small tang located on the camshaft reluctor ring (Arrows below showing tang on reluctor) is inline with the 2D matrix marking. Also shown are additional reference points used to verify exhaust cam reluctor orientation to camshaft. Photo below is showing the proper relationship between the 2D matrix marking and the small tang on exhaust cam reluctor wheel. If you nd the vacuum pump drive lugs are broke and/or the exhaust camshaft reluctor is out of position then replacement of the exhaust camshaft and vacuum pump will be required. Note: If needed, It will also be necessary to locate and remove the broken vacuum pump drive lugs and other metal debris during repairs. NOTE: This is a preliminary temporary diagnostic and repair.
