does anyone have any videos on replacing a cam magnet? mechanic friend said we would need to take the timing cover off etc, and others online say you can do it without doing this..my car doesn’t have a distributor it has a coil pack, i’m not a mechanic, i do basic repairs to my car, so i’m not sure how to turn the engine to line up the hole for the camshaft sensor and the magnet besides turning the key, but they said it’s very difficult that way?

was thinking the same about the magnet..but might try a new sensor first before tearing down the front of the engine to get to the magnet 😛

I was recently in Pittsburgh and my car just suddenly shut off, sounded like it was ABOUT to turn over but it couldn’t quite get there, hooked up a jumper wire and read the check engine light, looked it up, and it was just a crankshaft position sensor, could be the same for you! worth a check, just hook up a jumper wire or a diagnostics tool if you have it!
