simbey1982 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Got at P0340 Cam position sensor code and am going to replace the sensor. I see 16 diffrent brands as well as the OE one ranging from $32 to $85. Seems to me that the magnetic sensor either works or it doesnt.... So any thoughts or discussion on wether OEM or Bosch or X brand is better when it comes to sensors? Cory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebugs Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Bump. I usually have enough used ones laying around that I've never purchased a cam or crank sensor. Just knock sensors (which there are many #'s of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbey1982 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 hmm seems like it doesnt matter since i there is no passionate response either way.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Looks like alot of sensors are bosch. Id go bosch. Of course the ultimate recommendation is stick to OEM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've got some used cam sensors if you're interested. I'd imagine others would as well. Crank sensors are a little harder to come by - a lot of the time they are gaulded in there pretty good and break when trying to remove them. Certainly easy enough to change.

nipper Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Sheesh, poeple have other things to do then sit around and look at the computer all day, chill out and give people a chance to respond. It depends upon the sensor. Hall effect sensors it doesnt seem to matter. This is a hall effect sensor. The more exotic the sensor, the better it is to go with OE (like O2 sensors). nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For magnetic type sensors, anything really.. After that, I stay away from anything Bosch, except for plug wires. They simply were not designed for american/japanese cars in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbey1982 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for the input. Nipper, not being impatient...just judging from the fact that i didnt have 6or7 posts right away about one or the other then it didnt really matter.... you know if i posted about if i should use an OEM or aftermarket timing belt the response id get...cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
