cam angle
HEy guys can anyone tell me where the cam angle sensor is and if its different from the crank angle sensor
crank angle sensor: behind the harmonic balancer controls your ignition timing
cam angle/position/phase sensor: in the timing cover basically next to the water pump, tells the ecu where the cam is and what injectors it should be pulsing

any chance of a picture of it mate? i think i may hace found it but im not sure.
is this it? the one on the right was in my car with the bolt holding it in looser than finger tight.
and the mark down the centre of the right one is my fingernail drag mark. the left one is outa the wrecker
yeah that looks like it, guessing you have a problem with it?
Sometimes it's not the sensor playing up but the magnet on the camshaft timing gear that the sensor read has broken and fallen off, turn the engine over by hand (spanner on the hb bolt) and watch inside the hole that came out of to make sure it's still there.

i just seen what brett_jjj said about it on another post and it made sense to me. my car runs fine high up in the revs while im driving but the idle is very erratic. sounds like its missing but all the coil packs are working and all the injecters are to. and its not isolated to any one cylinder
Gave up on VL's

nope i get 33 44 45 and 47 all the time. but sometimes things dont throw a code. and its worthwile replacing it anyway as you saw how dirty it was
i'd be looking at 33, map sensor high voltage, could be causing the o2 rich/lean probs and the idle issue if your map is faulty.
47 yes cas or dfi can cause this. not probs with the cam angle sensor
the build up on it wouldn't worry it, all it does is sense a strong magnet going past and all the internals are well protected.

yea. swapped map, swapped o2. lean rich gone for now.i know the cas is on its way out as it only throws that code every now and again so its just dropping out then coming back i reckon
