I just ripped the crank sensor wire off #6 plug wire..am I buyin a new wire set ??
Was putting in a new cap and rotor - was having a hard time getting #6 wire off - it let loose and ripped the sensor off #6 wire. Anything to do to repair - or should I just bite the bullet and put a new wire set on the car - its at 178,000 miles - looked to be bosch wireset.
Not to interrupt but without the sensor the injectors
trigger once every revolution whether its the exhaust stroke or intake stroke, only it squirts half as much fuel since its doing it every revolution. When the sensor is working it opens a bank of 3 injectors 1,3,5 or 2,4,6 once every other revolution so its semi sequential injection.. a little more precise metering but as Jeff said it will still run ok without it. A true sequential squirts the full amount to each injector just before the intake stroke of each cylinder.

If the sensor works, the pulses are slightly better timed. Not a sequential injection system though...too bad.
