What causes a CMP sensor to break in an engine?
It’s not uncommon for a CMP sensor internal circuitry to develop an electrical open. This is usually caused by the sensor being exposed to engine high operating temperatures. High temperatures can break a wire. The broken wire may still make contact while the engine is cool.
What happens when crankshaft position sensor ( CKP ) fails?
If the sensor (CKP) has failed completely, then the computer won’t send any fuel to the injectors. Consequently, Leaving you unable to start the car. A Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) Failure may cause the check engine light on your dashboard to come on.
Can a faulty camshaft sensor cause a P0300 code?
Answer: No, a faulty camshaft sensor can’t cause a knocking sound unless it affects ignition timing. Question: Can a faulty camshaft sensor cause a P0300 code? Answer: A number of faulty components may trigger a P0300 code, including: a bad camshaft position sensor

Where is the CKP sensor located on a GM 3.1 V6?
The CKP sensor is located on the engine block (the side that faces the transmission) and goes thru’ the engine block itself. Late 3.1L and 3.4L V6 engines use 2 crankshaft position sensors. One is located behind the crankshaft pulley on the front of the engine and the other is the same one described…
Can a bad cam sensor cause only one cylinder to misfire?
Answer: If the faulty cam sensor has a bad effect on ignition timing (at least in some models), it can lead to a misfire; enough raw fuel will cause the catalytic to get red hot. Question: Would a bad camshaft sensor cause only one cylinder to misfire?
