This sensor basically tells the engine computer where the camshafts are positioned. It’s constantly monitoring that rotation, and sending that information back. Think of it as a really precise way of letting the computer know which valves are opening and closing. It works alongside the crankshaft position sensor, but while the crankshaft sensor tells the computer when to fire the cylinders, the camshaft sensor tells it which cylinders to fire. It's all about timing, really. It's a key part of the engine’s fuel injection and ignition systems. The computer uses the data from this sensor to determine exactly when to spray fuel into the cylinders and when to fire the spark plugs. It affects everything from how smoothly the engine runs to how well it starts, and even your gas mileage. It's usually bolted right onto the cylinder head, or very close to it, so it can accurately read the camshaft's position. If this sensor starts to fail, you’ll notice if your engine is running rough, maybe even stalling. It can also cause a check engine light to come on. Sometimes it’s a gradual decline, sometimes it’s sudden. It basically throws off the whole timing of the engine, and that can lead to all sorts of problems. Left unchecked, it can even damage the catalytic converter. They’re pretty reliable parts, but they do wear out over time. If you need a new one, you can often find a good quality replacement at places like Fixparts Online, and it's something a reasonably skilled DIYer can tackle, but if you're not comfortable, it's best to have a professional take a look. It acts like a shield protecting your engine from timing issues, so it's worth paying attention to. Buy risk-free: Camshaft Position Sensor (MPN 24835) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
