A camshaft position sensor is an electronic device that does what it suggests — monitor the camshaft position and speed — and feeds that data to the vehicle’s engine control module (ECM). The ECM needs this data to control how much fuel enters the combustion chamber and ignition (spark) timing to ignite the fuel.

Can a car run without a camshaft sensor?
The car doesn’t run. The engine will either start or stall if it doesn’t turn over. The engine will run poorly if the same sensor is unplugged and no signal is sent.
