camshaft position sensor checks out to being ok (5v from PCM with ignition ON) and oscillates 0-5v when cranking

same with crankshaft position sensor, seems to be working too (5v from PCM ignition ON, 0-5v if you rotate engine extremely slowly)

when i reconnected the TPS (throttle position sensor) it finally gave me the sound you hear when you turn on the car, so going to try giving it a start in a bit when I put everything together, just out of curiosity.

side note: there is no distributor cap, in the inline 6 i have this "bar" which has all its coils and sparkplug wires into one. closest thing here to distrib cap is the camshaft sensor
