Literally, NO!...ang camshaft sensor ay nakakabit between flywheel and transmission.


this information is misleading.
the camshaft position sensor or CMP is either located at the end of the camshaft or integrated in the distributor or driven by the camshaft which turns half the speed of the distributor. it is never installed near or around the flywheel. the sensor around the vicinity of the flywheel or the snout of the crankshaft is the crankshaft position sensor or CMP

if this CMP is that of a hall effect type sensor (magnetic type) accumulates iron particles at the tip of the sensor and will display a rather "noisy" signal that confuses the PCM which will react by shutting the engine down or running erratically.


pull the sensor out first and clean the tip with paper towel and reinstall. if you have the capability of a digital storage oscilloscope, view the signal waveform before and after cleaning.

If you were using Google, please look for the actual camshaft sensor location.
You were reffering a hall type sensor and I am with the magnetic type.
I am not misleading, its part of my job nature which is related to the sensors alike.
Google it and look for the actual images.
