u/I-like-old-cars

Hi everyone. I recently bought a 2007 Toyota Camry for 300 bucks because it had a broken timing chain. I replaced the chain and found there's also no spark. I tested the coils and plugs and they are good. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to check or do?

Also, if someone could show me a picture of the wiring at the crankshaft position sensor plug, that would be awesome. I noticed the previous owner replaced the plugs on it with parts store crimp on plugs and I'm wondering if the wires are in the wrong positions.

So I was at the range with my muzzleloading 16 gauge shotgun today, it was made in 1866. For about 2 hours, my loading sequence was as follows: 60 grains of 2f pyrodex, nitro card, lubricated cushion wad, .626 368 grain round ball, overshot card to keep it in place. Both barrels were loaded like this every time. I would then pull both hammers to half cock, put a cap on each nipple, pull the right hammer to full cock, fire it, pull the left hammer to full cock, and fire that one.

HOWEVER. At one point when I fired the right barrel, it caused the left hammer to drop at the same time. What followed was a massive BOOM, with enough recoil to rip the forend out of my hand (I don't really grip it too tightly when shooting at a bench), and now 11 hours later, my shoulder still feels like it was kicked by a horse. Everyone quit shooting to stare at me. One of the range officers stood over me while I inspected the gun, and after we decided it was undamaged, he let me go back to shooting. I shot it 7 more times, capping only one nipple at a time.

On that note, to any of you who have fired two shotgun barrels at once (break barrel, Muzzleloader, whatever), did it seem like their was an ungodly amount of recoil? It just felt like more than it should have been, there was also a weird ringing noise afterwards. That seemed to come from the boom of the gun.
