Ck cam sensor wires ran into this a couple years ago on a 6.2 and two of the wire had to be swapped on connector. Call MSD should be able to tell you

yes, double check cam sensor wiring.

At the plug, into the cam sensor.

That's odd, I didn't have any problems with mine. What cam sensor are you running? Try a known good sensor? I haven't had much luck with other carb blown thru guys on here.

I would think if a real sensor failure, it wouldn't run-maybe just a false reading?
Not sure if he's still there, but a guy at MSD, I think his name was Peter,
helped me orig set up my 6010
maybe try and reload the program, see if it helps

Like it fires right up idoes perfect just right when it fires it says cam sensor failure and then it goes away once idling the message? Does that mean that it is still failing ? I already did check the wires the guys from msd put the wrong conector on the end of it it was for the map sensor so I changed the connector and swapped the 2 outside wires because I plugged right into the sensor, I read that it could be to close to the cam gear so I put a washer inbeetween the sensor hopefully that gets rid of it will fire it up tonight are you guys grounding your msd to the block of the motor ? Thank for the help guys
