Open it up.. and take a sniff.

Also look for any burns or signs of shorting out... or anything odd. Especially around the black battery looking things (capacitors)

yeah just for the hell of it we thought we'd try and use an obd2 scanner, it has a code it says p0340 and then says P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A- Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction 1 OF 1
what should i test in this case is it just the position sensor that i need to replace or is there more to it than that? mainly i dont understand how it could be my PCM because of the location, because i know that the rag caused the problem.i just dont see how it could have messed up the PCM....

Just the position sensor then. Well sometimes the PCM's capasitors leak for no reason. Thats the rotten egg smell. Is there any smell coming from it?

Well if it says thats the problem then change it out.

Yes and no. Do you have a hockey puck shaped thing on the left hand side of your valve cover? Thats the cam position sensor

The cam sensor is located behind the intake cam gear (the one closest to the firewall). Just like Sebba stated, it looks like a hocky puck tucked in there. There's a good chance that the towel yanked it over or just screwed it up. You'll have to remove the timing belt and the cam gear to get to the cam sensor. You'll have to remove the belt so you'll have to redo the timing too. While you're at it, kick your boy in the junk for causing this headache

It's fun having a DSM isn't it

is this what you guys are talking about? if it is that WILL be a nightmare! i might as well have it taken to a shop what do you guys think they said it is 82 dollars to diagnose it and find the problem and if they cant find the source they will not charge... i figure have them diagnose it and possibly fix it,.....does that sound like the best thing , me, being an amature mechanic should do at this point??
