MY CAP TO MY CAM SENSOR IS BAD I HAVE TO LEAVE IT PLUGED IN TO START THEN UNPLUG TO RUN THE CAR I WAS WONDERING DOES THE CAR GO INTO A LIMP MODE WHEN YOU DO THIS ? IT RUNS KIND OF FLAT IS THIS TRUE OR AM I JUST MISTAKEN ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. dunno

Not Limp home mode, but Batch fire mode. The injector firing is different. Any autoparts store should stock or be able to get the cap for you. Last time I checked it was about $25. Cheap and easy fix... powersix

DOES IT REGULATE THE COMPUTER TO NOT ALLOW ANY CHANGES? I WAS RACING THE CAR AND CHANGES WOULD NOT IMPROVE PERFORMANCE ? angrymou

No, it does not regulate the ecm. It simply goes to batch fire mode rather than sequential. Used to be an old trick to try to get a bit more fuel-unplug it and make the run.

There should be little "felt" difference. Wonder if your cam sensor needs to be adjusted slightly after you replace the cap?
