This sensor basically tells the engine computer where the camshaft is at any given time. It’s monitoring the rotation, specifically the position of the lobes on the camshaft. It sends that info back to the computer so the computer knows when to fire the spark plugs and open the fuel injectors. It works hand – in – hand with the crankshaft position sensor—that one tells the computer when the engine is turning, and this one tells it how the valves are opening and closing. It’s a key part of the engine’s timing system. Think of it like this: the crankshaft sensor is telling the engine “we’re moving,” and the cam sensor is telling it “we’re getting ready to breathe.” Without accurate info from this sensor, the engine computer can’t properly time everything. It's usually located near the camshaft, obviously, sometimes under a valve cover. It’s a pretty simple device, but vital for everything working smoothly. If this sensor fails, it’s usually going to cause a rough running engine, a check engine light, and potentially even prevent the engine from starting at all. You’ll notice if it’s failing—it's not something that gradually gets worse, usually. Sometimes it’ll throw a specific code, other times it just feels like the engine is misfiring. It acts like a shield, protecting the engine from itself by making sure everything fires at the right moment. You can often find these fairly reasonably priced, even online at places like Fixparts Online. Replacing it isn’t usually too difficult if you’re comfortable doing basic engine work, but if not, a mechanic can get it sorted out pretty quickly.
