2006 Ridgeline. Multiple random misfires from all cylinders worse on rpm less than 2500. New crankshaft position sensor and 4 camshaft position sensors, two of which are OEM. With key on but not started I tested the three wires to the camshaft position sensor harness with the camshaft position sensor removed. Source wire 12 volts, ground wire, signal wire 5 volts. With the camshaft position sensor plugged back in the source wire had 12 volts, ground wire, and the signal wire dropped to 1.8 volts, all 4 camshaft position sensors the same. No change in voltage with metal waved close to the 4 camshaft position sensors. No specific camshaft position sensor codes detected. Is this a likely PCM failure?

I don't recall seeing a post as specific as yours before. I hope you get some helpful responses.

Any vehicle history you care to share in regards to mods, accidents, maintenance, etc?

This is far outside my skill set. When you replaced the engine with the 2007 (just curious what happened to the original engine?), did you replace the TB, adjust the valves, new spark plugs, etc?

Wow. That's quite a story. Did you do the work yourself?

Impressive. Sounds like you would be a handy neighbor to have around. ;)
