I tried to remove the camshaft positioning sensor, and for nsome reason it is damaged or swollen and could not remove. In the process I broke off all but 3/4 of an inch and it fell inside. What do I have to do to get it out, and what kind of damage could happen if I start it? Is there any moving parts behind the sensor hole?Thanks

Where is my camshaft position sensor located?

The Camshaft Position sensor is typically located in the cylinder head of the engine and has a cylindrical portion that inserts into the head. The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft sensor?

A glowing check engine light, stalling, poor acceleration and bad fuel mileage are all possible signs your camshaft position sensor may be failing. Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car's computer get the maximum performance out of the engine.
