The engine will not run without a cam shaft sensor. The sensor is necessary for the electronic controls to adjust timing and fuel being sent to the engine depending on the power it requires.

What is Camshaft Position Sensor A Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction?

This. is the sensor found on the cylinder head in the vicinity of the camshaft which inform the ECM of its position, so the. spark.could be sent to the cylinder for ignition.of the cylinder.


How does a camshaft position sensor work on a 1998 Ford F150?

camshaft position sensor is used to help the PCM (powertrain control module) determine the correct firing order. The engine will not run without this sensor's input. The camshaft position sensor is a Hall effect sensor. The Hall effect type of cam sensor uses notches or shutter blades on the cam gear or balancer to disrupt a magnetic field in the Hall effect sensor window. This causes the sensor to switch on and off, producing a digital signal or Hall-effect signal to the PCM that it uses to determine when #1 cylinder comes up on top-dead center (TDC). This sensor information is used to phase the sequential firing of the fuel injectors during normal SFI operation.
