Anybody get a cam sensor code after swapping to the eaton brackets?

You are going to realize that this was a simple fix and be kicking yourself later.

A Termi setup absolutely SUCKS in comparison to the brackets, in both looks and complexity of installation.

Have you verified that you extended the alternator wires correctly?

Have you ran the car with the alternator in place, belt on but all wiring disconnected?

Its something simple man...... hundreds of other people have done the exact same setup as you, with no report of this.

You are going about the solution ALL WRONG.
 
I don't have to extend my alt wires with my car. No I haven't ran the car with the alt on with the belt and the wiring disconnected. Well let me take that back because last night I started the car three times and my batt light was on but I didn't see the code, hooked the belt up because I had forgotten to put the belt back on the pulley on the pass side and first start up I got the code. The code is no doubt from the both alt and as I have stated I feel like its the close proximity to the sensor in my situation. I'm glad nobody else has had this issue and if they do I feel for them cause its pretty frustrating to be so close to being finished but yet so far away. Simple solution or not the fact remains as long as I have that alt right at the sensor with the alt spinning then I get the code, but no alt spinning then I get no code, well not totally verified on the no spinning part but for sure with it out then I get no code. Looks on the term setup is a moot point and more a personal thing, I'm just after a working solution with no code and that setup get the alt away from the sensor so it should be good.

Your car is done with a CEL on. Its not a big deal, welcome to the world of modding.
It starts fine, runs fine and the light can be tuned out.

The alternator in close proximity is not the problem because hundreds of others have done the exact same project.
Just take your time, find the solution and settle down!

Removing cam covers on a mustang is reason enough not to do the termi setup.
 
Cam covers just have to be lifted slighty and they don't have to come off thankfully. These brackets are coming off cause I'm done with them. If I hear a solution ill try it before pulling the brackets but in my mind I'm out on them. I realize a lot of other people have used the brackets with success, but nothing is perfect and there will always be kink, well I guess that's me. Here's the thing, I've spent maybe a little over 3 bills in just trying parts for this code, if I get another alt to try then ill be a little over 5 bills in just trying to get the brackets to work without a code. Yes I know modding has cels and other things. This isn't my first go around with a stang. This is one code I don't care to delete and sorry but that's just me.
 
I did just what all those guys did, I bought another alt and it didnt solve my issue, but it is obviously a alt issue cause with it out of the car I don't get a code.
 
Isn't the only job of the cam sensor to be in sinc +/- a certain parameter with the crank sensor to verify timing? I.E sloppy chains

If so, seems mute to have on a mod motor that the chains last damn near forever in. I'm filled with OCD on just about everything and wouldn't give shutting it off a second thought.
