cam angle sensor problem

[VergeTSi]

I got a 97 gsx with a 6 bolt swap. Been having really bad misfiring at highway speeds, the point to where the whole car shakes. Now I checked all fuel and spark areas such as changed plugs, wires, checked coils, changed fuel filter cleaned injectors. Still same misfiring at highway speeds. Used to happy once every 2 weeks, now its about 3 times a day. I talked to RRE and they say it could be the CAS giving off a cel becuase of the crank angel postion sensor is reading from the cam, the computer is miss reading the slight variations in the crank signal caused by the fluctuations in the timing belt as a miss-fire. What does this mean? and how can I fix it? I tried searching and found very little results with not much answers. Anyone have any ideas before I switch the CAS? Thanks

I just posted a similiar question. And we may be able to help each other out......My car starts missing and loses a cylinder only at highway speeds.....It runs fine all day in town, but a few minutes on the highway and it drops to 3 cylinders. I also have a 6 bolt swap in my 97 TSi AWD, and the cam angle sensor was reversed when I got the car, but then I reset the DSMLink on accident and now it's doing it.......However, I don't have the cable to fix it, but this may be our problem....Please if you get yours figured out let me know, and if I hear anything I'll do the same.........But that seems to be the culprit........

I've found the reason as to what fails in the Cam Angle sensor. The wires going into it are mounted with ring terminals that are screwed down inside the sensor, It's covered by plastic and what happens is, the bracket is pushing this wire at a hard angle, thus causing the ends to fail and grime to get inside of this connector, Since these are inside a plastic clip thats sealed from the top, the wire breaks from the O-Ring inside and tada, fails.
