    The cursed VZ SVZ that just will no run.

    Hi Guy's is the engine not running because its an 05 motor with cam sensor like below the car is an 07 that should have cam sensors like this on the motor. could this be the problem? I also heard that the bit on the front of the cam that the sensor reads is different also??

    What has control over the spark.

    Hi Guy's another question, I heard that different year model 190Kw VZ motors have 2 different types of cam sensors, is that correct? If I did install the motor with opposite cam sensors than the original would misfire and not start? Could this be why my car will not start?

    What has control over the spark.

    yes the engine loom came with the motor and ECU that I got linked to original BCM and PIM inside the car. I only got the original ECU swapped over because I thought that was why the car would not start. So the ECU is the same one that worked with the cam sensors on the motor. but the BCM and...
