What happens when a camshaft sensor goes out?
A faulty camshaft position sensor can cause a range of drivability issues, including rough idling, misfires, reduced power, and difficulty starting the engine. In some cases, it can even lead to stalling or a complete engine shutdown. The sensor’s failure can disrupt the engine’s timing, affecting fuel injection and ignition, which are crucial for smooth engine operation.
Can I still drive with a bad camshaft position sensor?
You could continue to drive with a bad cam sensor for as long as the engine doesn’t die. However, staying on the road without replacing your faulty component is ill-advised. The camshaft position sensor serves a critical function.
Is a camshaft sensor easy to replace?
Cam sensor replacement: Replacing a camshaft sensor is generally considered an easy to moderately difficult DIY job, especially on overhead cam engines. It usually involves disconnecting the electrical connector, removing a bolt or two, and then pulling the sensor out. However, accessibility can vary depending on the vehicle’s make and model, and some sensors may be located in tight or hard-to-reach places.
How much does it cost to replace a camshaft position sensor?
The average cost to replace a camshaft position sensor ranges from $205 to $312, with labor costs typically between $104 and $153, and parts costing $101 to $159. However, costs can vary depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you choose a dealership or independent shop.
