I want to know how i can tell if my cam sensor is bad on 97 chevy cavalir z 24 with 2.4

It is in the distributor assembly. It is also known as a hall effect sensor or pick up.

That code is for the air intake temp sensor. It has failed, is dirty or loose.

here is a link showing where it is located and how to get to it

fit a fuel pressure gauge and check the pressure, if low check fuel filter and fuel regulator if they are ok replace the pump

The timing cant be adjusted, you will need a scan tool to set Cam ****** Offset. it should be set to "0" above 1300 rpm.

check Answers.com they will tell you where it is faster than I can Good luck

I have a 2005 and the things that go bad on it is when the sensor goes off then for the intake then where the butterfly is on the intake gets dirty and needs to be cleaned it is the venturi gets dirty and needs to be cleaned and if it is a cam crank then it is the cam actuator that needs fixed you can tell if you take it off and there a screen missing it is a good sign that it needs be replaced and it is on the left side of the engine you need to understand that if it gives you a code that tells you that it is a sensor that is telling you that what the sensor looks after is bad not the sensor

5w-30 or 10w-30 typically 4.5 qts but always chk dipstick and add as needed

Crank sensor has to be bad,or the ignition module.Remove the ignition module and have it checked at the parts store.If it checks bad,replace it,if it checks good replace the cranksensor.The cam sensor,cranksesor,and the control module control injector pulse,and coil spark.I would point more to the ignition module.But I have known the crankshaft sensor to do this also.I hope this was helpful,if so,let us know,thanks,and good luck.

Change fuel pump relay.And check the fuses
