That pic was for drmmr15. Remember drmmr15, the engine MUST be at TDC when the CPS looks like that. And while you have the CPS out I would replace the O-ring. It's a dealer only part and its $2.35. Takes 1 minute to change.

For you jeepkaiser65, I asked if the cam gears were taken off the cams recently? Because the way you describe your problem, it sounds like someone installed them the wrong way. There are 3 different holes in the camshaft to install the pin. The pin should be in the center hole of the camshaft AND the cam gear, and the center hole should line up with the marks on the No.2 timing belt cover.

You also said this- "I understand that its gotta be some kind of timing issue."

Remember there are 2 kinds of timing for every internal combustion engine, ignition timing, which, in this case, has to do with the Cam Position Sensor (which I knew wasn't your problem, you verified that), and there is valve timing, which has to do with the cams. You said it's something mechanical, and you are right.
