Focus camshaft sensor error

Oh my goodness, that sounds awful! I have a Focus too, though I can't remember the exact year right now, and I experienced something similar last year. The check engine light was constantly on, and the engine was really struggling. So you got the camshaft sensor error too? Gosh, I hope it's not too serious!

Thanks for the reply! When you experienced this, did replacing the camshaft sensor solve the problem, or was there more to it? I'm trying to avoid throwing parts at it without a clear diagnosis. Was the engine control affected?

Well, I'm not a mechanic or anything, so I can't say for sure. But in my case, it turned out to be a bit complicated. I ended up taking it to a workshop, and they sorted it out. They mentioned something about the crankshaft sensor as well, but honestly, it all went over my head. I would suggest that you go to a mechanic. Sorry, that I cannot help more!

Thanks, I appreciate you sharing your experience. I had it checked out by my local mechanic; turns out it was the camshaft sensor and, as suspected, a defective encoder wheel. Repair came to 695€. Hopefully, that sorts it for good!
