New Camshaft Position Sensor from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ACP...
This video shows you how to install a camshaft position sensor on your 2001-2005 Honda Civic. For vehicles with electronically controlled timing, a camshaft position sensor relays important information to the computer to ensure the engine is running properly. A bad sensor may relay incorrect or no information, resulting in poor running conditions and trouble codes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2001 Honda Civic
2002 Honda Civic
2003 Honda Civic
2004 Honda Civic
2005 Honda Civic

I just cleaned the sensor connection with contact spray and plugged it back up. I pulled the batt cable to reset the code and it has so far worked for me.

[@CharlesGwinn-ep9pb]

Screw a bunch of that!!! 1.Place jack/wood block under oil pan 2.Remove motor mount 3 nuts. 3.Remove ac lines bracket bolt in valve cover for wiggle room. 4.Pry off round sensor dust cap and reach inside and disconnect elec connector. 5.Remove 3 upper timing belt cover bolts(hardest part) 6.Use flathead to pry lower rear of cover from its backing piece(it separates near where that rearmost bolt was).7.Carefully wriggle the cover slightly downward then back, up and out. 8.Replace sensor .. one bolt. DONE shaka lacka.

Great tutorial video! Saved a lot of money doing it myself. Thanks a bunch!!! 😊❤

He doesn't mention replacing the valve cover gasket but looks like he did. It looked red at the beginning, then black when replacing the cover. He also mentions not having to remove the power steering pump, but looking closely at the video, it looks like he did.

[@ktkawaguchi]

Thank you. very accurate video for what i went through except how long and how many tries it took me to get the sensor back in place. my only comment is in regard to not dropping the sensor's bolt. in removing it i bent a cheapo magnet on a stick and fed through my deep socket to turn it into a magnetized socket. and in replacing the bolt, i used the whole finger from a glove and covered the entire deep socket and it came out with the socket.

For an older car like this, might as well do a valve adjustment, clean EGR valve, replace EGR gasket, replace seals on valve cover bolts, etc.

[@AmandaViveros-i8j]

Great video! Very professional and thorough. Thank you for sharing.

[@coopergardea9001]

Never mentions removing engine bracket. Never mentions replacing valve cover gasket…..annoying

[@elzacatecano5096]

Thx for ur video it really help me alot to replace mine

[@SpaceCodes.]

Since the valve cover seal is being broken, how important is it to replace the valve cover gasket? I didn't see you put on a new gasket so I figured I'd ask

[@wilbertcoria4768]

How long have you had the torque wrench

[@S.s.s_88]

My car starts and shuts off in like 2 seconds could this be it 2001 honda civic

[@javiercornejo2132]

Is it necessary to change them rings when putting the co er back on?

[@alexnoah9053]

the bolts head fell off mine ur removing at 5:57 Do u know where i could get one?

[@ryanmood5388]

Do you have to take the valve cover and wiring harness off too or can you just remove the 3 bolts on the plastic cover and get to the camshaft

[@greeneggsandham427]

@@MichaelMosesHammer Since you are still lifting the valve cover on one end will this cause the valve cover gasket to be uncompressed and loosened and thus leak later on. Hence you will need to put on new gasket anyway???? What has your experience with leakage like????

[@popoutnshowkillas]

Is there only one cam position sensor or multiple???

[@uramaku2730]

Thought the power steering pump you said you didnt have to take it out i seen in the vid its not there???

[@RaySweeney-q5t]

You didn’t mention that you removed the power steering lines now I’m screwed. They’re right in the way and I’m unable to move forward after ripping my car apart. Ugh.

[@jasonduink6773]

Fantastic video.

[@hondacivic23]

What about for a 96-00 honda civic?

[@ThanhNguyen-ns5xx]

Hi What year and model Honda civic?

[@ryanmood5388]

Looks like it’s a 2004 Honda Civic dx

[@justmyopinion8395]

Why don’t car manufacturers just designed things so they are easier to get to? Design to upper timing cover to just pop off? Doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to incorporate in the design.

[@ropeysubstance1719]

Does this fix code P0340?

[@joeltmrw4806]

All of this is so unnecessary. Loosen the valve cover and only lift it til its past the timing cover. Remove the timing cover with ease and do not remove the mount. If you have abs, loosen it out the way. Cam sensor out. Did it within 10 minutes

[@CharlesGwinn-ep9pb]

Another advantage to this method is that(after you replace the sensor) you can connect the elec connector and immediately start up car and see if error code vanishes. (Maybe replace motor mount just in case?) Cant start it up with valve cover and 15 million hoses disconnected... lol.

[@macman9689]

oh, naw too much for me. can'tcrisk not putti g everything back correctly. let me take out a loan to take it to the deaker😂
