BMW 330i Camshaft Position Sensor

The BMW 330i Camshaft Position Sensor maintains smooth engine operation by sending the control module precise information on camshaft angle and speed. This allows the computer to fire the injectors and spark at just the right time to prevent stalls and rough idling. In every 330i, this Camshaft Position Sensor reads a trigger wheel on the camshaft and converts the motion to electrical signals that are sent instantly to the ECU. This is then paired with the input of the crank sensor to sync the movement of the pistons and valves. Early versions of the BMW 330i models had the Camshaft Position Sensor mounted above the camshaft housing, but later units moved the Camshaft Position Sensor behind the cylinder head or closer to the engine block for faster signal transmission and more compact packaging. All versions have solid state construction with plug-in wiring. Since a weak or failed Camshaft Position Sensor is likely to throw off fuel timing, affected owners should monitor for misfires or no-start symptoms while replacing the part as soon as possible to maintain the sporty feel expected from every BMW 330i and to bring back BMW performance.
