Q: Changing the camshaft position sensor
If I am changing just the cam position sensor, (not the synchronizer), do I have to do a top dead center setting like you have to on the synchronizer, or can I just change out the camshaft sensor without adjustments, Thanks, Rob
My car has 120000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
