The engine control unit of the car has a component known as a camshaft position sensor for monitoring the rotating position of the camshaft. After getting the necessary information from the position sensor, the engine control unit will determine the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber as well as the timing of the spark. If any cases, it is damaged, then you will notice the signs define in the following slide.

COMMON SYNDROMES OF DETERIORATED CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IN CAR
Internal combustion engine has an important component known as a camshaft.
Camshaft can manage the intake of gasoline and fume emissions from the exhaust.
ECU has a camshaft position sensor to monitor the camshaft's rotating position.
Sensor transmits the information to the ECU for injecting the right amount of fuel.
If it has deteriorated for any reason, then you will notice the following signs in the car.
Failed camshaft position sensor injects an improper amount of fuel into the chamber.
Engine will not respond very well when you step on the gas pedal to accelerate.
If the camshaft position sensor has malfunctioned, it will affect other functions of the engine.
Due to these reasons, the check engine light will be illuminated on the dashboard.
In certain cars, the spark cannot be generated due to the failed camshaft position sensor.
If your car is unable to generate the necessary spark, then you cannot start the engine.
Due to a bad camshaft position sensor, fuel injectors put too much fuel into the cylinder.
When more fuel gets used up, it will create a problem for the fuel efficiency of the car.
Camshaft position sensor goes bad when you are driving an automatic transmission car.
Throughout the process, you will notice that the gear set up in a locked place.
When you will notice any of the signs in the car, consult with a reputed mechanic for fixing it.
A reputed and certified mechanic will diagnose the problem and replace it if necessary.
