Flywheel timing pins and sensor was: Help!!! 5KCSQ wont

[Ben Swann]

Don't have much time, but I'll offer in short..

1)  Pull codes  - crank/no start & leave ign. on.  This may lead you
somewhere.  I had gotten a Hall sensor out of window when I did my major
work - there is not much room for error.

Your reference sensors are important to assuring the correct firing
sequence.  Make sure that the reference pins are still on the flywheel.
 You may have to remove the starter to verify, or remove the sensor(s) and
observe they are there.

Let us know if you get any codes.  Someone here will be able to look them
up.

[I seem to recall that there's no way to put the flywheel on "rotated one
bolt off" its proper orientation.  But you could have disturbed the sensor
or wiring???
