It was pretty general, just said 'camshaft sensor defective'. Any idea what fixed it for you? Was it actually the sensor, or something else?

Yep, same vague code for me too. I tried cleaning the contacts, but no dice. Ended up taking it to a shop; they diagnosed a bad connection. Cost about 95€ all in. I'd say check the wiring, but honestly, it's a pain to get to. Might be worth just letting a pro handle it.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like I'm headed to the shop then. Hopefully it's just a connection issue like yours was. At least it's not a huge repair bill. Cheers!

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my CHR. Rough starts and the check engine light were the first signs. Did the code reader give you any specific details, or just a general camshaft sensor failure?
