[s-cars] Cam sprocket removal

[theringmeister at triad.rr.com]

just checked,
the mechanic that did it just ran the lead from the cps to the plug, which itself is just in front of the fuel rail, but the lead that runs to it that's under the cover is part of the car's wiring harness, not from the cps.   He didn't leave much of any slack either.  It's tucked in there pretty well, so the sprocket's gotta come off.
