Suspect Camshaft position sensor
Hi,
Please I need help, I have a 1992 Eclpise 1.8l. Car has always ran fairly well, not a power house, but lately it has lost a huge amount of power and motors pings on accerlation. Changed out gas filter,air filter,plugs and wires, rotor and cap,had catalytic converter checked- OK and ran a compression check-OK. Finally today the cel came on and when I downloaded the code it was a Crankshaft camshaft position sensor along with an intake temp fault. My mechanic told me the car would not start or run with these faults present true?
Is this a big deal to replace? Where is the componet located? A dealer item? What manual would guide me through this procedure(other than a service factory) Car has 135000 miles.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

RE: Suspect Camshaft position sensor
did that light come on after the compression test? you have to disconnect that sensor to kill spark/fuel during a compression test and any time you do that it will throw a CEL. Try reseting your ecu and see if it clears. If it comes back on, then you have a problem.
