Also try replacing the crankshaft sensor. Sometimes they get dirt on them.

I have a 1999 saturn. I need to. Replace the. Camshaft. Censor

It does not have a Cam sensor. I would check for vacuum leaks around the area where the intake manifold bolts to the head. Very common for them to leak.

What is the RPM at and how long does it stay there. How long has it been doing this? Is the check engine light on?

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Misfire on 2 and 5

Hi Paula,

You didn't mention if you changed the plug wires.

You mentioned replacing the camshaft sensor. Have you checked the Crankshaft Position Sensor? Or the Mass Air Flow Sensor (may need cleaning)? Or the Throttle Position Sensor?

Car will not start code reader is saying camshaft sensor malfunction. I replaced the camshaft sensor and it still wont start still same code. is there a way to test the censor? what should I check next.

Hello there , try your battery terminals. The smaller wires that go to your terminals can be electronic ignition , if there connection is dirty or the in line fuse is corrosive your motor will turn over and not start. .. Regards Graham ....
