hmm.. me to.

I got that cam code when i removed the wire by mistake when doing the t-belt with the batt. conected, but it cleared once i pulled the +.

Im sure someone else will chime in soon.

Someone else can explain better but you can start the car without starter by pushing it and stuff to make sure car mechanically runs fine.

Try that if you have enough space, maybe it is just a starter or something.

Shizzle- how hard is it to replace the Cam Sensor? And where is it? I've got a serious rattle in my engine that isn't coming from a loose part and I wonder if this is the problem. I got the error code 16395 a couple months ago, but it went away and never came back...my mechanic told me that could possibly be the problem...?

Replacing the Cam sensor takes what.... 5 mins? Its teh silver "roundish" piece inront of your Valvecover

Arif... the Car does start when I "booststart" it by connecting those 2 Starter connectors with a piece of Wire, as I already said....Once the Car is started it runs just fine...it just doesn't start with the KEY ... AHHHHHHHHH

one more question shizzle....

Could just a bad sensor cause the rattle in my engine?

The code that came up is this:
Camshaft Position (CMP) intake/left/front, B1, Timing over-advanced/system performance
-Probable cause: Valve timing, engine mechanical fault, CMP actuator

I'm wondering if this could be a very serious problem...? How did you know the Cam Sensor was bad in the engine you just replaced?

Thanks...

Hey

I replaced the Cam becuase it gave me a Cam problem Code... In your case, if you hear knocking noise I would make sure that my Oil level is appropriate and make sure you dont have a "oil pressure" light illuminated in yor Daschboard. Tell your mechanic to check your Valvetiming too!


In other news............. I FIXED IT, THE CAR IS STARTING !

I replaced the Starter+Solenoid and now its starting like a dream... The Solenoid only comes with the starter so that's why I had to buy both, but Im really happy! Sometimes you just overthink things and you dont see the solution eventhough its right infront of you ...

Thanks for everyone that helped me!

Well that's good news. lol i hate it when sh** like that happens.
