Cam Sensor question.

My truck lost all power. It barely stays running. The check engine light comes on. There is no smoke comming out of the tail pipe. Could this be a cam sensor?

normally when the cam sensor is bad it will die dead as a door nail then start back up and run fine then die again. it could be but thats not the normal symptom.

best thing to do is to take it to one of the bigger auto parts stores, most will scan it for you for free, let us know what they find and we can go from there.

I think I will try taking the chip out first, to see if that is the problem. If it is not the problem, I will try taking it to an auto parts store to pull the codes. Thanks.
