Want this question answered?
when my camshaft sensor was going bad, the vehicle refused to crank after being driven and parked for a few minutes. If you wait a little while it may crank. I heard of people pouring water on the sensor casing to crank them also.
The camshaft position sensor is a part of the distributer. There are 2 electrical plugs going to it, 1 is for the coil,the other is for the Camshaft sensor.
The camshaft sensor is the same as the crankshaft sensor it is local on the passenger side of the valve cover . And going down to your crankshaft inside the timing belt cover
On the front of the driver's side head. There should be two wires going to it.
Check Engine light, misfires, cut outs, hard starts, no starts......
pcm is going into default mode you likely have a bad cam sensor
I have a 2000 toyota rav4 it has no power going to the camshaft sensor or fuel pump I replaced efi relay and fuel pump relay all fuses are good I also tried a new ecm computer no differance not sure what to do next
That sounds like its going to be either your camshaft position sensor or the crankshaft position sensor. I have a 02 durango with a 4.7 and it uses both. if its starts and all of sudden cuts out its your camshaft sensor a 40 dollar part that's pretty easy to change.
You would need to diagnose the problem to determine why the cam sensor is failing. It could be a mechanical problem and they are breaking or an electrical problem and burning out.
look at the valve cover on the left side u will see two wires going to a sensor that's where it is
If there is sensor with wires going to it sticking out of the front of the pan, it has the level sensor.
Probable failed camshaft position sensor.
