His car runs...therefo re the voltage has to be rising and falling.  B goes to a buffer amplifer in the module

Hall sensors can show funny if they don't have their normal load attached- why I asked.

Good point...

don't disconnect the cam sensor while checking voltages....se e the factory diagram at the bottom of the page  http://www.vortexbuicks-etc.com/cam_sensor.htm   The voltage is checked with the cam sensor connector plugged in
