Saturn LS Camshaft Position Sensor

The Camshaft Position Sensor in a Saturn LS allows the control computer to know exactly where the camshaft sits and how fast it spins. This allows the engine to run smoothly. The Camshaft Position Sensor is in the upper region of the motor, highly often above the camshaft or behind the cylinder head. The sensor generates a constant stream of electrical signals that fire the injectors and spark plugs exactly when they need to. The Camshaft Position Sensor works with the crank sensor to allow the computer to match the movement of the pistons to the timing of the valves. This is essential for four-stroke engines that use variable valve timing for power and efficiency. A failure of the Camshaft Position Sensor can result in the LS sedan stumbling, misfiring, or not starting, due to the ECM losing its timing reference. The early Saturn models were deployed using a basic magnetic pickup style Camshaft Position Sensor. This was an AC signal producing component that generated a response whenever a toothed wheel on the engine passed by it. The updated Hall Effect Camshaft Position Sensor built into modern Saturn LS engines incorporates built-in electronics that resist electrical noise and respond faster, delivering easier starts and steadier idling.

Each OEM Saturn LS 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.
