General Motors 1.5 Turbo Camshaft Reluctor Wheel, Very Important!!

When the vacuum pump blows up in this engine, it will most likely affect the reluctor wheel that runs on the camshaft position sensor. What normally happens is that it would get misaligned so much that the car won't turn on, but in some cases, it could get misaligned a little and you can still turn the car on. So, in this video I show you how to realign the reluctor wheel so the engine can start again.
