Im out of ideas. I have searched and searched for info on UZ cam sensors and a solid way to solder cut lines but no luck. I have had 2 incidents where my serpentine belt jumps an idler and cuts 1 or both sensors. I have since replaced 1 of the 2 sensors with a used one but I cannot simply swap the driver side sensor. I actually cut a couple wires with tin snips by accident when I was trimming away some plastic loom casing in roder to make room for my supercharger bracket. The cut is AFTER the cam connector so its officially part of the engine harness. I soldered the line and used heat shrink on 1 wire and the second I had to use an extra piece of wire to gain enough room so make the connection. I must add that I used generic 14 gauge speaker wire, not official auto specific wiring but I assumed it would not make a difference. Both are copper of the same gauge with similar jacket thicknesses. Anyway I have made an improvement where the car will not die at idle and wont stumble as wasily but no matter what, at 60mph+ the car jumps like a bucking bronco until I either slow down to 50mph, or floor the gas. I know its my cam sensors because before I touched this used engine in its N/A form, it ran perfectly at all rpms and loads.
