Have an 04 Sebring 4dr that blew up *rod bearing* and I sourced another engine from another 04 Sebring. The other engine was flex fuel and the original one wasn't. Well long story short I had to change the flywheel to get it to run. It runs but won't accelerate cause the cam sensor isn't seeing signal. Can I just change the tone ring from the original engine like I did the flywheel and get this thing to run properly or is there a ton of other things that need to be done.

This is my first post here although I have read the resources many times before to help me fix things. Thanks for all the help.

 

YES, you can just change the cam sprocket with the tone wheel made on it. It wasn't a matter of it being FFV/Non FFV, it was PCM type NGC/Non NGC. It's seeing the cam signal, it's just limping you because it sees the signal so scattered. I advise getting a new primary tensioner and inspecting the chain guides while you're in there. 2004 was the last year they used both types.

 

Thanks a ton. I'll get to work on it and get back and post results. I was just afraid everything would be haywire since it was FFV.

 

-Basically just don't run E85 fuel in it and you should be fine...

I'm finding problems getting the correct tone ring. I have pictures of several different ones and the S860 which is what I thought I needed looks to be the same as in the car at present. The engine didn't come from a Sebring as the Junkyard guy said, it came from a 04 Stratus.

Here are the tone rings I've found:


I have ordered the SBEC cam gear and it seems like its the right one on this image. I can't find the left one and I think that's the one I need.

This is another one I found on the internet.

Just a pick of a different one I found on the internet

This is the cam gear that I ordered that is suppose to be the right one but it is the same one that is in the car now.
