cam shaft sensor controlled
cam shaft that allows the downward thrust of one Piston to cause another piston to move back up to be ready to be pushed down again. The Ignition is timed in a manner that allows the sequential firing of the spark plugs to cause The cam shaft to rotate smoothly. by Evan The cam shaft opens the valves as the piston comes up and down to let fuel in and let exhaust pass the crankshaft pushes the pistons up and down
There are a few symptoms when a car has a bad cam sensor. A few of these are sputtering, poor acceleration, and the engine stalling.
the engine usually misfires at low rpm and the lifters clatter. Chevy small blocks were famous for this usually on cyl 5 and 7
Either the gear on the end of the distributor shaft is chewed off or the gear that drives it is . Possibly broken cam.
Nothing...........there is none.
car stalls backfires hard to start
no, the cam shaft is on the engine cylinder head..
only when bad.....not a maintenance item
Yes any camshaft can break if something goes wrong.
It's Japanese. That's how.
The sensor on the CAM SHAFT!
this probably means you have a worn cam shaft or cam shaft or the arm that hits the cam shaft to open the valve is worn. this is internal on the engine.
some of these bad boys have a magnet in the timing cam gear must remove timing cover on these models
Older engines, not overhead cam, it goes in from the front of the motor and you need to put in new bearings with the cam. Overhead cam is under the valve cover and is held in place with caps that bolt on. Take the timing belt pulley off the front, hold tension on it so that the timing doesn't jump, remove the caps and lift out the cam shaft.
Cam spins at half the speed of the engine.
cam chains are a chain the attach to the crankshaft and the cam shaft , the crankshaft is the shaft making the pistons go up and down the cam shaft makes the valves open and close, the crank shaft and cam shaft have to be aligned a certain way or the car will not fire, this is called "timing" . if your looking for where it is , its most likely in the front of the engine get a pro to look at it.
