Well, 120 is kinda well before those sensors seem to want to fail. If yours
is a 96, you should have OBDII. A reader might solve the problem real fast.
Especially if you get a P1xxx code. Those are the manufacturer-specific
codes. I've heard of one that says "disagreement between cam and crank
position sensor signals. I think it was P1903. Since you have the FSM, it
should tell you what you need. Biff
