Default 1998 Discovery LE,, 4.0 engine,, 137,000 miles

I have battery voltage at TPS -- Temp pressure sensor --- Engine coolant sensor --- MAF sensor at the Red/black wire for each sensor.. This voltage disappears if I diconnect the cam sensor....which also has the same Red/black wire.... Please help me diagnose by providing a wiring diagram of camshaft sensor to determine what values should be at each wire. Vehicle starts but runs super rich... With high idle... With no check engine lite..
Thanks in Advance for any help!!!

there have been quite a few of these "advanced evap" vehicles with this issue, some of us have found that the culprit is the fuel tank pressure sensor ( or the wiring to it ) ..it shares the same voltage feed as the tps,and the iacv.... iirc....and any fault in THAT circuit will mess with the fuel ratio/ delivery. roll up the carpet in back to get acccess to the fuel pump and unplug the sensor on he top of the pump assy....my truck INSTANTLY ran normal after the unplug

Thanks for the speedy response,,,, Unfortunately this did'nt work....Only when we disconnect the camshaft sensor connector does the battery voltage leave the other sensors connectors,,,,, tps,,, iac... maf...etc... I have no luck so far in gettng a wiring diagram to determine where the wires go or their values......

**** The fix was ,,, The problem was the R/B wire should have been system ground and the ground integrity was not good!!!!
