      I got the P000A obd scanner code. Is it most likely a camshaft position sensor?

      What about p0016 code dealership told me crank sensor mostly,.But after checking most sensors for ohms looks like a timing chain plus cams

    Very well said. You kept it very simple on explaining how it work's and made me feel like this could be and issue, I have done a complete tune-up on 2010 CR-V 2.4L 4WD and on here under spark plugs, it states to replace cam sensor seal at the same time, I didn't and still have some issues but much better, if I'm gonna take the time to take apart, then I'll just replace it and order a new seal for $4 and have a spare with the new one in vehicle. Just like I kept my coil packs, for the money. It was worth it to buy new coil packs than buy new boots and other seals that needs to be replaced, was worth the extra $15 per cyclinder and know its new and should be good for awhile withb3 years or 36,000 mile warranty. As long its not to pricey, then I'll replace it and keep spare part's, if something happens, I can sell them cheaper than most will have to pay later on like now, everything has jumped up by 35% or more on some thing's and is crazy prucing and changing weekly on parts. Honda's last a long time on the 2.4L engines, they sell very fast even on Craigslist for top prices, if it got wrecked, I'd lookup prices but sell them for what I paid for them. I Already been robbed by garage on heater tube that took them a month. Just found a friends garage I could use and I was taking it back. Had help and it was freezing outside, at temps below zero and I can't move in cold weather, cost $817 for a $32 part then new Plenum gaskets also to get to the metal heater tube, They charged me $112 on it when I said I went to order from said site and I can have it here overnight delivered for $25 extra. She said mines came in and working on it now with being slow, went by and outside in same place, had a low tire and dirt kicked up on it, they added air because was clean and done in 2 day's Ebaymotors and took the chance, the person I was gonna order from had up to 14,000 plus in sales item, and rated 99.9% and took returns even if order was your own mistake and no charge for restocking fees, just cost to send back to them. She said it sounds like you have my guy as she was clicking on key board that you could hear and cost just $75 but I understand they make money off parts but screwed me. Said my radiator was shot. Didn't see any leaks on pressure test, $130 radiator and new from factory wholesale warehouse cost $286 and I was charged $396 for a radiator that fits but not tight from factory, it's loose and nothing they can do about it she said, I said not factory radiator or would fit like old one and old one was gone aready because I asked to see the tanks where it was leaking from.

    Mine would just stall for no reason even while driving.....you could swing it till you were blue in the face it wouldn't start. Leave it for 5 minutes or so and boom, fire right up.
    We had a customer (car audio) with a track Lotus Exige asking us to disconnect the alarm/immobilizer because it was stalling on the track and his mechanic couldn't find the issue, speaking from my own experience I advised him to change the cam angle sensor and all was good again. He actually came back and thanked me for the advice. 😊

      @@elpolloloco5594 If you were asking me then yes. Engine light / Red oil light and battery light were on.
      it turned out that my sensor is fine it is just that some engine oil made its way into the cable of the sensor that goes to the car computer. causing all of my issues. a simple wipe fixed everything but I still have to fix the leak so it won't happen again. I hope this was helpful

    it occasionally occurs. For instance, when I have my foot on the brake and then release it without touching the gas pedal, the vehicle sometimes stalls for about 2 seconds. Other times, it doesn't stall right after releasing the brake, but as soon as I hit the gas pedal, it stalls for 2 seconds before operating normally. Thank you for your response."

    I have a 2013 Nissan Frontier, V6. I had most of symptoms described, but not all at once. The first was a sudden loss of power on the highway. A couple of surges, then it ran normally. A little later, the same thing, followed by an engine light. Several days later the engine ran roughly, but it was more of a buzz. The rearview mirror was blurry. Later that day, the engine cut off, but restarted easily. That's when I decided it was time to take action. I went to Auto Zone for the computer check. Code P0345, Camshaft Position Sensor A(Bank 2). I checked the owner's manual and it described the Cam Shaft Sensor. The secret location was not revealed. I went to the Hayne's Manual site to down load the book. Hayne's said to put the truck on jack stands, but after watching a number of videos, everyone goes over the top. I bought both sensors, to be sure.

    Great video my car has all of these symptoms I was beginning to worry about the cost because I am broke as a joke right now but my car is older so shouldn’t be much. it’s an 04 Honda civic 4 cylinder with 115k miles on it. I got it with 90k and put the other 25k on it myself all while taking decent care of it so it should have much more time long as I take care of it. But I do have a oil leak. So maybe like another person in this thread said maybe mine may only need a wipe down. I don’t know how to take the parts off to get to the sensor but I’m sure it’s not too hard. I think I may even try myself to wipe it and then if it don’t work then I’ll take it to a shop with the part

    (p0234,p0117,p0365,p1131)

    Hi. I have a 2015 jeep patriot sport. Engine blew. Replaced engine and now it cranks over but gets no gas. Replaced crankshaft positioning sensor. Stumped. What would be the cause? Don't know what else to do

    Quick question is it bad for timing or it doesn’t affect it?

    Is it possible to have all the symptoms but no check engine on a Durango 2004?

    Ok I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu. When you crank it up it goes in gear just fine. But as I'm accelerating it takes off for a second done then it's starts revving up like it's out of gear and I put it in park does the same thing! But when I turn off the car and crank it up it it goes in gear just fine. But mine is the p0700...

    Could you have this issue with no light or codes?
