You saved me money dude! All because you said dont confuse one thing with another. I re-hooked up my diagnostic machine and made sure. Thank you for making me think.

I changed the oil in my Bmw, changed the vanos solenoids, and it threw a check engine light for camshaft position sensor (timing retarded bank 1&2) I replaced the cam sensors, then it threw a code for fuel pumps and a code for (transmission fluid deteriorated) I replaced fuel pumps, then it was back to cam shaft timing retarded again.. I replaced coil packs, and spark plugs. It was still throwing engine code for cam sensor, and have a check engine light. I replaced camshaft gears, and timing chain.. Still had the code.. It ended up being the crankshaft sensor which was not throwing a code, but made the camshaft sensors throw a code because they weren't reading correctly. 600 bucks, and hating myself a week later... I repaired it, with a crank sensor. (P0012-P0015) are camshaft position codes, but if they can't read what's coming from the crank they read incorrectly. Will also throw transmission codes, cause ruff idle, horrible performance, misfires, and a head scratching disease.

Are you a mechanic or all these jobs something a regular person can do?

Should this be happening on a new vehicle? I leased a 2024 Honda HRV and not even a year into my lease the cam shaft needed replaced.

My check engine light never came on. Buy have been hearing a winning noise from the Alternator area. And battery good along with starter. So checked with breaker bar. And won't move. Opened top and timing chain seems loose to me. But everything looks very good and clean. Should I replace this sensor or just finish opening the rest of the engine and plan on rebuilding halfway or at least what looks like is needed or wanna have new

Mine doesn’t show code. It’s hard starting. We already changed fuel pump. All symptoms you mentioned are showing

I have a dodge journey sxt with the 3.6 PENTASTAR and I've already had to replace one from the cam sensor being off driving it to a few shops but me being a mechanic I went to fix it and seen the exhaust cam had a flat lobe and the valve bent and rod was thrown but Bec I had a 1/2017 manufactured date it wasn't covered under the recall 2016 3.6 HAS A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RECALL EVERYONE YOU CAN CHECK YOUR VIN BUT LOOK AT YOUR ENGINE MY 17 HAS A AUG 16 MANUFACTURER STAMP ENGINE JUST BECAUSE YOUR CAR IS A 2017 DOESN'T MEAN EVERY PART IS THAT YEAR DO YOUR DUDILIGENCE AND CHECK

Hello, i have bmw e46 325i, when i start the car i get rough idle/misfires until it warms up a bit and the start up rpms go down and from then it smooth. Can this be possibly the camshaft sensor?

Good afternoon hopefully you read my message. I had a P0343 code and it said to replace the cam shaft position sensor on my 2011 Prius. So I did that today and now After I installed it my Prius doesn’t want to start now. I still have the P0343 code checking my OB reader. What is wrong with:(

@HonestMechanicChannel 11 ай бұрын

Hey Christopher, I'm sorry to hear that you're still facing issues with your Prius even after replacing the cam shaft position sensor. the next thing you should do is check the wiring harness. Examine the wiring and connectors leading to the camshaft position sensor for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Are there other codes you getting?

@christopher23. 11 ай бұрын

I’ve checked the wiring harness and it looks fine. I keep getting back the P0343 code. I also have a check hybrid system.

Will a faulty cam shaft position sensor cause rough shifting in an automatic transmission between gears? My son just got his first car, 2010 VW City Golf, had codes for O2 sensor and CPS, replaced the O2 which fixed the hesitation during regular start and go but still can’t floor it as he says lol and some rough shifting between 2-3 or 3-4 gears. We are getting it replaced but curious if a bad CPS can cause the rough shifting. Thank you.

My code came up as camshaft sensor, changed both and still wont start.

@jpowerhands3607 5 ай бұрын

Make sure timing chain hasn't jumped a tooth the valves could be out of alignment also the cam senser has to be relearned on some vehicles once a new senser has been put in also check wiring harness associated with cam senser make sure it's getting the correct voltage and check the fuses ecm relay and ecm fuses as well

Hey im getting misfires at accelration and quick revs. Mainly anytime the car is under load. The car used to stall at idle but the other day i cleaned my maf and i stopped stalling. The misfire gets worse as it gets warmer and i have no clue as to what it could be as ive changed my coil packs and plugs. Can anyone help me pls?

@HonestMechanicChannel 4 ай бұрын

Hi sorry to hear that, It sounds like a fuel delivery issue or a vacuum leak. Check the fuel filter, fuel pump, and injectors. Also, inspect vacuum lines for leaks. Cleaning the MAF helped, so it could also be an issue with the MAF sensor or air intake system. Try a quality fuel injector cleaner first and see if it improves!

@jovo21 4 ай бұрын

@HonestMechanicChannel changed my fuel pump and tested my injectors (they seem to work fine). I've got a hunch that my ecu may have shorted out as my coil pack plugs were missing when I bought the car and the pins were just connected directly without insulation. What do you reckon?

@PeterHernandez-lg2eh 7 ай бұрын

2006 Subaru sti with po302 . Can a faulty camshaft position sensor cause a single cylinder misfire or a crankshaft position sensor?. Having ahard time finding cause. Did compression and leakdown test all good did intake and exhaust smoke test no vacuum leaks. Swapped plugs and ignition coils from 2 to 4 cylinder. Next will be injector swap

Hi, nice work, I am frim Nigeria,I love your videos, I have a p0016 and p0705 issue with my 2007 corolla 1zz engine, Please can you throw more light on this codes for me?

@HonestMechanicChannel 5 ай бұрын

Hi there, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! The P0016 and P0705 codes on your 2007 Corolla with the 1ZZ engine indicate two issues: P0016: This code means there's a misalignment between the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. It could be due to a timing belt or chain problem, a faulty sensor, or the need for an ECM update. P0705: This code relates to the transmission range sensor circuit. It suggests an issue with the sensor itself, its wiring, or its adjustment, affecting how the transmission reads gear selection. Let me know if you need more help!
