Fiat Novo Camshaft Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2019 Fiat Novo with 211,723 km is experiencing poor starting and reduced engine power, with an error code indicating a camshaft sensor issue. The problem is suspected to be a bad connection. It is suggested to check the sensor's wiring harness and plug, as Fiat connectors can be unreliable. The issue was resolved by repairing a defective plug connection, costing 95€.

Thanks! When you say 'similar issues', was it the exact same symptoms? Did the check engine light come on?

Yeah, pretty much identical. Rough starting, felt like it was down on power, and yep, check engine light was on. I'd still get it checked out by a workshop if fiddling with the connector doesn't solve it. Could be more to it.

Thanks for the advice. Ended up being a defective plug connection as suspected. 95€ repair at the workshop and everything's fine now.

I had similar issues with my Novo. Check the sensor's wiring harness and plug first. Those Fiat connectors can be a bit dodgy. Could save you replacing the sensor itself unnecessarily.
