I can and have recorded it on my maxisys, I do not have an HPT. I finnally pulled the cam and crank sensors and lined up the missing tooth in the crank hole and looked at the cam tone wheel, it is a few degrees off from 2 other VVT engines I have in the shop so apparently the phaser is not returning to it's proper at rest position, it don't look like it is enough off to be a tooth off. I will pull the cover off in the next couple days and see what is going on in there.


I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
