    Mine told me a cam sensor was having an issue, but the car’s been driving like it always was and hasn’t had an issue in almost a year.

    (Watch my car explode now that I’ve posted this)

      Bad cam sensor doesn’t necessarily disable the vehicle but a bad crank sensor usually does. Bad cam sensor just means you’re going to waste sparks.

        It’s also not something you can just ignore. Eventually you’ll damage/destroy your engine.

        Cam position sensors are cheap and generally easy even for a beginner to replace, so if I were you I’d stop putting it off and just get it fixed.
