Fiat Doblo Camshaft Sensor Issue

My 2011 Fiat Doblo, diesel engine, is giving me grief. At only 42951 km, it's starting poorly, engine power is down, and there's an error stored. Suspect the camshaft sensor. Looks like the cable or plug connection is faulty. Anyone else seen this?

Sounds familiar! Had similar trouble with my old Saab 9-3. Engine was acting like it had a mind of its own. Check Engine light was on, too. Was the check engine light on for you? Did you check the crankshaft?

Yes, check engine light is on. I was focusing on the camshaft sensor due to the error code. You think it might be the crankshaft sensor instead?

Well, my Saab was a crankshaft sensor in the end. But given you have a camshaft sensor error, that is the most likely candidate. It is like assuming the lights are out because of a power outage when in fact, it could be a faulty bulb. Given your symptoms, it might be worth getting it checked out by a workshop. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks. Took it to the workshop. You were spot on with the sensor issue. Replaced the camshaft sensor, and it cost me 95€. Runs like new now.
