cam sensor on a 96 v6

I don't know the answer to your question, directly. But, the Cam Sensor is sometimes part of what looks like a distributor. I don't know how they designed your '96, but I suspect you have a distributor. The Cam Sensor can be part of what formerly played the role of points -- not exactly "points", but in the same place.

If I'm correct, the fix is to replace the distributor. This is a relatively easy project. MAKE SURE the engine is at TDC, then pull the distributor and drop in a new one. I hate to state the obvious, but be sure the engine is at TDC, and the new distributor is pointed at the #1 position BEFORE you attempt to start the motor. Many new distributors will come with a lock pin in them that holds the rotor on #1, DO NOT remove the pin until after the distributor is correctly installed.

Thank you for the help, but the 96 has the distributerless ignition. There are three coil packs. I have also added an MSD add-on ignition, larger injectors, and the TRD SC (1st gen)
