It is one of the main elements of the distribution system that powers up the engine cylinders. Its rotating movements are coordinated with the movements of the crankshaft. Through the cams that are welded into it, it opens and closes the valves through which the fuel mixture enters and the exhaust gases get out.
I own a pt cuiser 2.0 ecc 2001, and would appreciate any information you could share with me about my car's failures. After changing the gasket, cylinder head and bent valves, it started presenting many sensors' failures : camshaft, oxygen, acceleration and MAP. The engine apparently starts properly when in dead center, it accelerates properly but, when changing to either D or R, the engine chokes and loses power, and even stalls. I would like to know if the problem is in the sensors, in the electronic control unit or in the gearbox. Thank you!
