Mine went out a few days ago. Engine was banging. I was scared. I thought it was going to explode it was shaking so hard. Definitely at idle. Good video.

Love some help all !!! I’ve got the code and will replace Camshaft position sensor The No1 reason for code is exactly what I have Valve gasket leak ( major leak ) This video says it isn’t the sensor that fails its oil contamination from valve gasket leak! So it’s the oil that’s gone bad through the valve leaking. Need to change the oil. And the sensor. Or just the oil. Many thanks.

Hello love your help and thank you. Question I got 2017 dodge grand caravan 3.6 with number 6 miss firing. Everything checks out. Intake, plugs, coil and injector also vacuum. Still has miss fire on idle. What I notice is that injector pulse is around 1400-1600 while all the others are around 1700+. Any tips. Currently leading toward pcm.

You are right,my JZX90 1JZ GTE non VVTI won't start. Crank sensor checking all dry but when the cam sensor checked .. got an oil and water contamination plus the socket bridle af. Clean it change the socket everything perfectly start like normal. Just reminds guys if the cam sensor broke or dirty,you might got the crank on stater and the injection sprayed gas on combustion but no spark,result the strong gasoline smelled.

My 2018 F150 5.0L throws a camshaft sensor code on bank 2 sensor 2 which is the exhaust sensor. What tool do I need to remove the connector? There is a white integrated clip in the connector that locks the connector in place but, once it is released it will not come off of the sensor and there isn't enough wiring to be able to get 2 hands on it. There must be a special tool to extract that connector.

I have a 2006 Ford mustang GT with a 4.6 that will not start and on top of that my check engine light does not come on so I don’t know what the issue is but I’m starting to suspect the cam sensors may be bad I’ve already replaced the crank shaft position sensor. Right now I’m not getting a signal to the power packs for the spark plugs.

03 acura mdx ,After changing water pump and timing belt. I removed the spark plugs and coil just to make it easy on turning the crank to DTC once everything was complete. Check light came on and got p0344. Am on 3rd day trying to figure this out. Can low oil cause this code ?

My honest mechanic said my timing chain is loose making a ticking sound. He recommended to have it replaced so wont damage cam position sensor, valves, piston. He said also it really time coz my truck has 280k odo n will last another 200k. Your validation is appreciated.

Please explain valve cover leak causing camshaft sensors to be faulty. Getting low and high input codes for both banks on bmw 745li 02 after having a major valve cover leak. The connectors from wire harness don’t seem to be contaminated by oil but they sensors were soaked in oil with some on connector prongs.

sensor is 10-40$. about 100-200 if a garage changes it. All depends on location. some older vehicles are a 10 minute job, and mine is closer to an hour to change.

It would crank no start now . I can see I have spark from the coil pack and I have fuel also . I changed the crankshaft sensor and no luck . I think only 1 thing left the camshaft sensor.
