Camshaft position sensor
Hey all ... I’m going nuts here my car went dead with popular crankshaft position failure now it’s telling me camshaft position failure and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the damn thing out !! lol the crank was easy but there is two lines and a pulley in the way of the camshaft senor and I know there had to be a trick to get that bolt out but can’t find anything online any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance ..

I'm certain that no competently-engineered scan tool is telling you that your camshaft position sensor has failed. I presume the engine management controller software has set a code because it isn't receiving a proper signal from the position sensor, and this could be due to faulty controller hardware, wiring, or a stretched timing chain as well as the sensor.

After the headbolts job and after i replaced the lockplates in the phasers, i 'mgetting the error P0019, the dealer where i took the car said that can be the phasers, i exchanged the position sensor left to right
and the error still persist, so it is not the sensor, i do not see any reason to think is the solenoid nor the timing chain,
Any suggestion before i dismantle the 2 exhaust camshafts and exchange the phasers to see if the error switches to the right bank?
