Chevrolet Express Camshaft Position Sensor

The Chevrolet Express Camshaft Position Sensor communicates with the control computer to ensure that the engine maintains accurate timing and firing. The Camshaft Position Sensor sits atop the camshaft or, on some years, behind the cylinder head or along the engine block. Either way, it feeds the engine control module signals so the processor can control fuel injection and ignition timing. The data from the crank sensor allow the four-stroke motor to match the pistons and valves the instant the starter forces the whole system into action. This stops misfiring in a smooth idle and allows for faultless ignition of the engine. Chevrolet drivers may experience hard starts, stalling, or weak acceleration when the Camshaft Position Sensor wears out because the computer loses accurate injector pulse and spark advance. Over the course of the life of the Express range, while purpose does not change, mounting points do, with earlier layouts above the cam while later versions hide the Camshaft Position Sensor further back for packaging and heat shielding. Regardless of location, all Camshaft Position Sensors operate off the generation of a magnetic pulse. This device ranks alongside the crank sensor as one of the two highly important feedback devices in the Chevrolet powertrains. In fact, a failure to replace a bad Camshaft Position Sensor will leave an Express stranded.

Each OEM Chevrolet Express Camshaft Position Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
