This is a long shot.. but it won't hurt.
2003 protege5 206k. Radiator died and replaced it then water pump died (water out weep hole) so I went in to swap it. Pulled all the parts and replaced the pump, timing belt and tensioners. Also did the alternator because it decided to seize.
I put the whole thing together and it ran well on the road test. Pressure test was good with no drips and it held temps. The kid drove it last night and said it shook a bit when she was stopped but drove it to school and back today.
On her way back she was driving and the engine just died while going down the road. I got there and it would crank all day.. but wouldn't' try to turn over. It was about 3 cups low on coolant but the overflow had some water in it. i think that was a final burp i missed..
I had it towed home. It never once tried to turn over at all
Error code on the reader is cam position sensor failure.
Did I screw up the timing? Did I mess up the sensor when I wiped out the valve cover? I'm going to start tomorrow with backprobing that sensor and see what it says, but its always fun to see what the internet thinks.
Thanks!
