Kix poor starting camshaft sensor

The symptoms you are describing certainly suggest a potential issue with the camshaft sensor circuit. The poor starting and reduced power are classic indicators. The error code confirms this too, of course. Before replacing the sensor, I'd recommend carefully inspecting the wiring harness and connector for any signs of corrosion, damage, or loose connections. Have you checked the crankshaft sensor? Sometimes, those can cause similar issues too.

Thanks for the reply! I focused only on the camshaft sensor because the diagnostic tool pointed to it. You mentioned the crankshaft sensor. Where exactly is that located on the Kix, and how would I go about checking it? Would a faulty crankshaft sensor also throw the same error code, or would it be different?

A faulty crankshaft sensor can present similar symptoms, although the error code might differ. However, cross-checking is vital. Given your expertise, I strongly advise consulting a professional. Replacing sensors and diagnosing electrical faults can be complex. You may want to consider bringing your Kix to a qualified workshop for a thorough inspection.

Thanks, that's probably the best course of action. I took your advice and brought the Kix to a local mechanic. Turns out, it was indeed a corroded connector on the camshaft sensor, just like you suspected. They cleaned it up and replaced a small section of the wiring. The total cost was 95€, which is a lot less than I feared. Thanks again for your help!
