bayes300 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 The check engine light came on in the car. I followed the instructions on troublecodes.net and found that the error code is 17 for CMP No. 1. Anyone know what the CMP is? TIA.

Toysrme Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Camshaft Position Sensor. 2vz/3vz-fe's Take the distributor's electrical connector off & put it back on & give the metal body of it a smack. That's not going to solve anything, but you're going to feel better as you replace the distributor. They're very low failure rate items, so I wouldn't be afraid to give a junkyard like $30-40usd for a used one. New one's from Toyota are pretty expencive & some Lexus dealers just get laffable. Autopart stores with rebuilt distributors normally go about $90 with core, $125 without. 92-93 v6 Camry / 92-93 ES 300. Same thing. I will say DO NOT change the spark plug wires with generic crap if you ver change them. The OEM wires are like $90-113. Other than OEM wires, Vitek & hellaciously expencive Magnacore's are the only wires that will last any time. & only use NGK, or Denso spark plugs. Everything else is going to develop weak spark over time. Distributor itself isn't complex to change. 2 * 12mm bolts & it just pulls out of the end of the intake camshaft on the back head. Have/borrow a timing light to set it. The directions on how to set the timing are all ever any forum you look at if you look so.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
