Camshaft Position Sensor Mismatch
I replaced my M104 3.2L with the M104 3.6L engine from a C36 several years ago. I've been chasing the performance issues ever since the engine swap. With the help of another person doing the same conversion, we found the problem.
My original 3.2L used a Hall Effect 3-wire Camshaft Position Sensor with a semi-round tab on the sprocket gear. The 3.6L AMG engine continued to use the magnetic 2-wire Camshaft Position Sensor. So my ECU is not reading the camshaft position with the Hall Effect 3-wire sensor with the triangular magnetic tab on the actual Camshaft Advance sprocket.
Is there any way to convert or wire my existing system to use the 2-wire sender instead of the 3-wire sender?
Otherwise, it appears that I will have to remove the existing Camshaft Advance and weld a readable tab on the sprocket gear itself.
