zoideraserb Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, a friend of mine has a regal, i don't know what year (1994 maybe) but it has a 1st gen 3.8 in it and the belt had broke and wrapped around the pulley and bent the blades in and took out the cps.. well he put a new cps and tansioner pulley on, well he checked to make sure the blades were the same on the new pulley as the old one and they do match (minus the bending lol), but it still doesn't run.. i thought that you had to adjust the cps? but there isn't a way to that i can see. so if anyone knows what to do he'd appreciate it lol.. thanx 'Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 They sell (or possibly rent AFAIK) a special tool that aligns the Crank Sensor.

firefighter_0029 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Is his motor black on top? A 94 should be you don't have to adjust a 93 and up 3800. But from 90-92 you had to use a feeler guage to adjust the Sensor away from the fins on the pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from 90-92 you had to use a feeler guage to adjust the Sensor away from the fins on the pulley. x2 I had the same thing happen to my old 93 Regal (except the fins in the balancer didn't bend). I was told by a shop that you needed a special tool to adjust the sensor. So I let the shop fix it. I found out about a year later that the sensor was indeed non-adjustable. yay.

firefighter_0029 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Are the fins hitting the new sensor or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
