New camshaft angle sensor installed!
The new one had some weird structure to the internal part. Not sure why but it appears to work.
Trunk-mounted batteries mean that you gotta touch butts before you can drive a Miata, but everyone knew that anyways. Also, you are now realizing how small the XJ-S is. I had to do a reset of some kind on the security system to get it to start but it fired up and drove beautifully. I’m going to try to rejuvinate the battery later because it doesn’t really want to start again.
It’s been parked for a while....

Make sure to hang onto an extra cam sensor, they seem to go bad sporadically and quickly. I just had one last like 30k miles and as soon as I replaced it, it was instantly apparent that was the problem. Car felt like it misfiring or clutch slipping or both. Then the cam sensor replaced and it was perfectly normal. No check engine light either which was strange. Anyways, I bought two so that I can just always have one to spare in the car.

Has to jump start and rescue relatively new and reliable car with a notoriously unreliable Jag.
Ironies abound!
