To determine if a camshaft position sensor is bad, you can look for symptoms such as rough idling, difficulty starting the engine, or unexpected stalling. Additionally, you can check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) using an OBD-II scanner, which may indicate cam sensor issues if specific codes are present. Physically inspecting the sensor for damage, wear, or poor connections can also help identify problems. If necessary, testing the sensor's voltage and resistance with a multimeter can confirm its functionality.
how do you k now the cam sensor is bad
No it will not start need to change the cam sensor & crank sensor!
A 93 does not have a crank or cam sensor. Ask your question again. Tell us why you think it had a bad sensor, Tell us your symptons too.
If you have a bad cam sensor there will be no input sent to the computer signaling the position of the cam/crank...etc, and there will be no signal sent to the coils telling them to fire. So yes, a bad cam sensor will in part cause no spark. Try a new sensor, or pick one up for cheap from a junkyard.
No
There are a few symptoms when a car has a bad cam sensor. A few of these are sputtering, poor acceleration, and the engine stalling.
Yes. A bad cam sensor can cause slight hesitation of the vehicle, ultimately resulting in complete loss of power suddenly while accelerating. If bad, the cam sensor worsens, possible causing the vehicle not to start.
i think it causes bad/rough idle
The coil pack could be bad. More commonly the crankshaft sensor could be bad. When this sensor is bad the system cant tell where the cam location is and will no know when to send fire to the spark plugs.
The code P0341 means that one or more of the following has happened. The cam sensor wiring may be too close to a spark plug wire causing interference, a bad wiring connection at cam sensor, a bad wiring connection at PCM, a bad cam sensor, or a damaged reluctor wheel.
A cam sensor tells the computer when number one compression stroke is happening, the crank sensor tell the computer when to fire the sparkplugs.
