302 Running like . Still can't find issue

Yes Vinnie i was just showing the difference in the connections. The difference in the sensors is minimal but they are slightly different. One converts Vacuum into a resistive value and the other reads Barometric pressure. Both sensors produce the same resistance when they are at atmospheric pressure. So either one can be used as a BARO SENSOR OR MAP SENSOR. I actually did a comparison on both and their performance is similar. But they do carry a different part Number. I would venture to say they are slightly calibrated for different applications. Example my MUSTANG has 2 part numbers for the TPS sensor. One is tuned for a different emission parameter. But the auto part store only lists one TPS for my car. The sensors are slightly different but close enough i guess by application Thanks

You can also remove the valve cover and see the timing events. Or rock the damper bolt back and forth to see the chain stretch. But a compression test will expose a jumped chain faster than a 3 LEGGED CAT RUNNING OUT OF A DOG POUND.

Ok so being the stupid person i am.. i can not find my compression test kit at home. I will run down to the shop tomorrow and post the compression test readings and will run codes again.

Thanks a ton everyone.

Thanks Tom. I appreciate that info. When you're down in Southern Oklahoma, I'll buy you supper.
