Best Answer

The Camshaft Position Sensor is used for ignition timing and determining the RPM.

As the signal is needed for proper fuel injection, the fuel injection stops whenever there is no signal. Also the RPM meter drops to zero.


It is possible that the signal drops out for one or two seconds, and then resumes. In this case the engine will stall during the dropout, and (when not in idle) resume operation when the signal resumes. It is very well possible that no error condition is logged by the Engine Control Unit (ECU).

If the signal is completely gone the engine will not run or start. In this case an error code will be logged.
