Hello all...

I'm having some trouble with starting my 4ktq with the MC engine (Mac-11 ec=
u).  Previously the car always started on the first crank, however now it w=
ill not start and gives me the code 2112.  The tach needle does NOT bounce =
when I'm cranking.

By reading SJM's page and the archives, this should indicate that the crank=
 timing sensor (62 degrees BTDC), associated wiring is bad or that the hall=
 sensor is out of position.  So far, I've tried replaced the sensors (twice=
) with spares and verified position of hall sensor at cyl #1, TDC.  I'm sti=
ll getting the code.  For giggles, I even tried replacing the coil...no dic=
e=2E

Am I missing anything?  Do I suspect wiring at this point? I've checked the=
 sensors between the pins and gotten values of about 950 ohms, plus tried t=
o verify that the magnetic sensors produce the voltage necessary...

I was planning on doing some continuity testing tonight on those plugs sinc=
e the boots on them were looking a bit shaggy.

Has anyone run into this code or problem before?  Any ideas?  Just got the =
new engine into it (oil pressure looks good this time during test runs) and=
 the suspension, so I'd like to drive it.

Thanks in advance.
