Yes, a faulty camshaft sensor can prevent the fuel pump from activating. The engine control unit (ECU) relies on input from the camshaft sensor to determine the correct timing for fuel injection and ignition. If the sensor fails, the ECU may not trigger the fuel pump relay, leading to a no-start condition. However, other issues could also cause a fuel pump not to activate, so it's essential to diagnose the problem thoroughly.

It sure will if it's bad.


Why would the service engine light keep coming on even after you have had plugs wires fuel filter cam sensor and coilpack replaced?

It probably is something in the emissions. O2 sensor what year and make


Why would a 2003 dodge caravan keep cutting off already replaced spark plugs and camshaft sensor?

When it's dead, check for spark & fuel to give you direction. Whichever one is missing you can narrow it down from there.

could be anything from a crankshaft sensor to a fuel flow sensor if you take it to a garage they will diagnose it and can reset it but can cost anything upto £50.00 to reset depending on where you take it

What sensor most likely will keep a 1999 gmc surburban from starting?

A common sensor that could prevent a 1999 GMC Suburban from starting is the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor monitors the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft, and if it fails, the engine control module may not receive the necessary information to start the engine. Other potential culprits include the camshaft position sensor and the fuel pump relay, but the crankshaft position sensor is a frequent issue for starting problems in this model.


Can you override a crankshaft sensor?

No, not and keep all your equipment the same. The crank sensor determines spark and fuel injector timing along with the cam sensor.


Would the crank sensor keep the fuel pump from coming on?

The fuel pump usually is either always on or on based on demand pressure/vacuum. A bad crank sensor (one that tells the fuel system the engine isn't turning when it really is) will prevent fuel being introduced into the cylinders just like a bad fuel pump though. Really dumb design in my view-- my daughters VW Beattle was famous for these kinds of failures.AnswerYes


What is a camshaft positioning sensor?

Modern electronically controlled engines use a sensor to keep track of the position of the pistons for spark timing. Since all the moving parts in the engine are mechaically linked, only one sesor anywhere in the system can provide the required information. Most systems put this sensor on the crankshaft. But a sensor on the camshaft would also work. The sensor itself is a simple magnet and pickup coil. The coil sends out a pulse every time the magnet passes it.

What does the oxygen sensor do on the car?

The oxygen sensor measures the amount of or lack of oxygen in the burnt exhaust exiting the engine in the exhaust pipe. It will then send a voltage signal to the vehicle computer. The computer uses that signal to control the fuel metering coming into the engine to try and keep the air/fuel ratio at 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. This is for emissions and economy reasons.
