I'm curious what was stared out?

Check the sensor for bad connections or any damage to the wire going to it, give it a good spraying of WD40 around the contacts, if that doesn't cure it you probably need to replace the sensor, they are pretty cheap and it's not a tricky job to change it, and if your really lucky the new sensor will last more than 6 months!!

You'll find the camshaft sensor at the top of the engine on the right hand front corner If I recall correctly.

aha,

You must have missed the space out between "any" and "ideas"

AB censers any word that includes the letters y i d together in them
