    Chek to see if you have power to the CAS, if so then check to see if it is sending the pulse signal when the engine is cranking. Black will be ground, red is your 12V and blue is the wire sending the pulse signal.

    I'll check that tomorrow. But being brand new shouldn't it be working just fine?

    you can easily test a cas... I am one of those people who believe cas's RARELY go bad... Mitsu has those down tight. like maybe one in 100 cas's might break with cars all doing 200k.

    They are stout. I bought a bunch for like 25$, they were all good, i kept for a spare but I have never needed to replace one(3 cars, 3 rebuilds).

    Hmm. If it's not CAS, which I doubt it is since its brand new, what could it be?

    MFI? PTU?

    I'm curious, how do you go about testing the CAS?
    Do you do it on the car or do you have a bench test?

    What year? If its a 93+ the blade wheels can mess up the sensors if they contact them. This can happen if the wheels are bent or the sensor is installed loosely or incorrectly. May be worth checking out.

    It's a 95. I really really dont wanna check the wheel!!!! it is a pain in the ass getting to that thing!!!

    Both belts, motor mount, idler pulley, PS tensioner, and ALL timing covers... ugh...

    I have spark though! so I assume the wheel is just fine.
