Does my 95 GST have a CAS?

I have a p1300 CEL and trouble shooting as much as I can. My engine resembles BoostedinSoFla's. Where is the CAS in my 95 GST?

1995 and 1996 turbo dsm's have the cas behind the intake cam gear. All other years have them on the opposite side on the end of the camshaft without the gear. On our cars, there is a full moon seal where the other cam angles sensors would be.

Luckily, in your case a new cas is $50 from the dealer.

Sweet, thanks dude!

But you have to take the T-Belt off.. Bleh.

I'd recomend doing the 1G CAS swap.

Yeah, I would recommend that as well. But since Clay doesn't have Dsmlink he will need to swap the injector wires on the Ecu. The cool thing is that he can get the plug and play harness from RRE.

Or I can make him the same exact harness for $30.

I'll actually sell you a kit if you're interested. Everything will be plug and play you just got to swap the wires on your ECU. So it'd basically be the sensor itself and the harness. I've got one left as of right now and it's on ebay. PM me if you'd be interested and you could just buy it through ebay if you feel more comfortable.

Thanks for the info, but I will not do the swap. I've been stranded for a day and I just want the car to run without more modifications and money down the drain.

The 2G crank signal will have to be replaced with a simulated Crank signal from
a 1G CAS.

Be prepared to buy DSMLink and 95-E-Prom ECU if your Stock ECU is unhappy with
the simulated Crank signal. Its the only viable solution to eliminating false
Random Misfire detection if the problem occurs.

If you have the auto tensioner compressor special tool, you can zip-tie the cam gear without having to remove the timing belt.

Where can I find this auto tensioner compressor special tool?

EDIT: From Vfaq, the special tool is MD998738.

Here is a link to the special tool from Jay's Racing.

Follow this write up for general ideas of how this can be done, obviously you don't need to remove the cams, you only need to remove the intake cam gear.

Also cross reference with step #9 in the timing belt vfaq to understand how the special tool work.

Thanks Oldman!

No problem, remember to use loc-tie on the cam bolt and torque it to spec, good luck.
