[QUOTE="kevster30, post: 430131, member: 10"] Ssman, As the sensor degrades through time, the loss of power is very gradual tht you do not realise it. Plug in the diagnostic tool and it will say ok, no faults. However the reality of it is this sensor consists mainly of a magnetic pickup to read the signals and in our wonderful tropical heat, how long do you think the magnetic property will last? Last I called around the price ranges from rm350-rm420. Poor idling is not a symptom of the cam sensor. It is usually related to the MAF or an air-leak in the intake system, also tired O2 sensors. An important point to note, a fault code will only be present during diagnostic when the sensor is no longer working, but will not register if it is weak. This is true of ALL sensors. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
