Default I hate the 2001 cam sensor

This part seems to be in the way of everything I do. It sits on top the intake cam near the back of the motor and has a connector sticking up out of it. The position and design of it make it WAY too easy to snap in half under the connector boss. That breaks the electrical connection and bam code P1345 and the car wont start.

I spent the last hour hacking it open and soldering in some jumper wires. Now it's ugly but it works again and didn't cost $75. Started the car, cleared the code, bam.

...

But really, I wanted to celebrate the clutch job working out. Needs a little break-in but it's in and adjusted. Woohoo!
