It is one of those things that seems to be the bane of the existence of lots of NB owners--the Cam Position Sensor. Easy to replace, but always seems to break down.
The factory uses M and K to differentiate. CMP is for the CaM Position sensor, while CKP is the CranK Position sensor. -Bryan --- On Fri, 6/13/08, Larry Alster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Larry Alster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [Miata] 2002 Bucking - Update To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "'Miata Power List'" <[email protected]>, "'Miata Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, June 13, 2008, 4:40 PM Okay so I don’t need to look it up what is a CMP Sensor??

Today--in the middle of the busiest intersection in the area--the car decided to buck and die as I was beginning to pull away from the light. Not only did it do this, it threw a CEL that actually stayed on (no flashing, just stayed on for the 3mi drive home). The CEL: a P0340 - CMP Sensor Circuit Malfunction Besides the CEL, I noticed something interesting. At the light previous, I noticed what I could have sworn was clutch slip for just a bit before everything finally bit and the car moved forward. It got me thinking...this car has had a clutch that operated quite unlike both of my previous Miata's clutches and the clutch in my Civic. What I'm thinking is that clutch shudder/judder could be to blame. Can someone describe it to me? Is it possible that the clutch violently slipping could be causing the drivetrain to "juke" enough to cause what are basically timing errors? Can I still get the clutch replaced under recall? -Bryan
