I've just change my cam sensor and took it for first drive this morning. The acceleration feels more lively so to speak. Would the cam sensor have anything to do with acceleration?

Or is my car being more lively before it dies

[omegod]

Cam sensors cause all sorts of problems and mine was affecting the gearbox too so I wouldn't be surprised if it feels more lively, or it could be a final swansong before it dies

That's what I'm thinking

Not sure if mine is the same sensor or not but I sometimes get the email lit up and it is like a bag of pooh to drive, sluggish and when I come off the gas it gives a backfire? Is this a symptom of cam sensor break down?

could be my symptoms were hard to start, eml would come on ever now and again and it sometimes wouldnt rev past 4500rpm.

You need to have the codes read to be sure

try this on a 2.0

paperclip test

Thanks for the link. I don't have trouble firing it up, but, the lead from the sensor doesn't look very healthy at all and mayhave been bodged after being trapped and cut.

Lol.. Serves me right for not checking before sending. Off to find a paperclip and then find the plug. Best take pen too, I feel a host of faults coming up..
