The camshaft position sensor (cam sensor) on a 1997 Ford Contour monitors the position of the camshaft to help the engine control unit (ECU) determine the correct timing for fuel injection and ignition. This sensor plays a critical role in optimizing engine performance, efficiency, and emissions by ensuring that the engine runs smoothly. If the cam sensor fails, it can lead to poor engine performance, misfires, or difficulty starting the vehicle.
