You'll need the DRB (or some other scanner that will show fuel sync).
Setting it the manual way (with a test light or volt-meter) only gets
"close"...but not correct.
I'll send you the file in PDF format - it's only for baseline setting
though...you'll need a scanner to set it properly as it's set at 1000rpm
(not idle).

Subject: DML: Camshaft position sensor alignment?
I know this has been discussed before, but can someone tell me the exact
procedure for setting the fuel sync signal? I read that there is a TSB
number TS18-16-92A outlining it, but I don't have it. Maybe someone on the
DML has it? The FSM states only in regard to installing the distributor, to
line up the no.1 cylinder mark with the rotor. This seems pretty subjective.
I'm sure it must be positioned more precisely than that. What I have done is
attach my voltmeter to the sensor signal line at the PCM harness (pin 44)
and with the crank at TDC rotate the distributor counter-clockwise until the
signal just goes high. (sensor blocked) I don't know if this is correct,
but I don't know any other way to adjust it. Maybe I should rotate it
clockwise until it just switches low (sensor unblocked). This puts the rotor
a few degrees away from lining up with the no.1 cylinder mark inside the
cap. I'm sure someone here knows the procedure. I would appreciate any
input.
