Let’s understand why: A camshaft sensor works with the crankshaft position sensor to help the engine run smoothly. The sensor monitors your camshaft’s position to share this information with the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM, in turn, relies on this data to manage fuel injection and ignition timing. What’s worse?
