Yes, of course it would.

 

Yup. Which sensor is it? The DIY is easy by the way and you can get the OEM (ONLY OEM) sensor from ecstuning.com

 

Its coming up as Cam position sensor

 

But it should say like sensor a or b or something like that.

 

i will check it tommorow first thing, Im not really farmilliar with the sensors but is there a difference with Camshaft and crankshaft sensor??? where is the crankshaft located

thanks

 

The crankshaft is toward the bottom of the block. Cams are right underneath the valve cover up top. All the sensors are toward the front of the engine

 

Well I'm saying there is an intake sensor and an exhaust sensor. Get back to us when you can.

 

My understanding is that a bad crank sensor would cause the car not to crank. A bad cam sensor, the car would crank, but not start.

But, just to complicate things, I'm pretty sure guys have gotten cam sensor codes, replaced them, and still have issues starting. I don't know what else might trigger a cps code that's not the cps...something upstream of it. Timing is pretty well fixed. Only other thing that messes with timing is the vanos...maybe it's retarded--literally and figuratively!

I don't know that the vanos can get stuck in a position where it's retarding or advancing incorrectly and thus the cps might pick up on that. Just a guess. I'm not a mechanic and don't play one on the Internet!

Search cps, camshaft position sensor, in advanced/title search along with 'no start' and see what you get. You're not the first no start with cps codes I'm positive. Don't go ordering parts just yet. Do the research.

 

Bad Crankshaft sensor = car will start, but will require a few more rounds on the starter motor before the cam position sensors take over RPM reading and firing positions. Will also (possibly, not all cars do this) struggle to get past 4000rpm. lots of misfire, hesitation of throttle.

Bad camshaft position sensor: car will start, (might also require few more rounds on the starter motor), and have reduced power.

 

Did you ever figure out what the problem was i'm having the same issue

 

1.) Closing in on 6 years since the last post on this thread.
2.) What issue are you having? The crank or cam position sensors will give you a Check Engine light and a code. What is your code?

 

Camshaft position sensor a Is the only check engine light I replaced the starter crankshaft sensor ignition switch clutch switch I don't know what else to check all the fuses and relays are good

 

Crank but no start problem?

Have you confirmed you have gas in the tank and fuel pressure at the rail?

 

I have more than a half tank is fuel coming out to see your real when I pulled it and that would cause the car not to crank if the pressure isn't correct cause the starter not too crank

 

What is your battery voltage reading before cranking?

 

How about a COMPLETE and CLEAR sentence about what is going on?

Not sure if this is Voice to Text gone bad or typing while driving?

Is this a no crank problem?

Is this a crank, no start problem?

Does the tach move to 100-150 RPM if this is a crank, no start condition?

Do you have another key?

 

I am trying to walk this guy through step by step.
