Why Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensors Fail
When the sensor fails, it stops transmitting the signal which contains the
vital data for the ignition and other parts in the system. This can cause
faults such as the engine idling erratically, starting failure, poor starting
or flat acceleration. If the engine is revved up when it has a bad or faulty
sensor, it may cause misfiring, excessive engine vibration or backfiring.
Possible causes for failure can be from exposure to extreme heat, oil or
dirt ingress from a failing seal, resulting in damage to a wire connector
and/or the sensor element.
