Keep your BMW's ignition and fuel-injection timing on cue with the Standard Ignition Engine Camshaft Position Sensor PC288. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1993-1994 BMW 318I and 318IS, the 1994-1995 BMW 530I and 540I, and the 1993-1995 BMW 740I and 740IL.
A camshaft position sensor monitors the camshaft's position and rotation and reports that signal to the engine control module, which uses it to coordinate sequential fuel injection and ignition timing.
- Timing signal: tracks camshaft position and feeds the reference signal the ECM needs to time injection and spark.
- Direct-fit replacement: replaces the original sensor on the listed BMW applications.
- Conditional fix: if a failed camshaft position sensor is the cause of your issue, this replaces it.
Signs the sensor may need replacing include hard starting, stalling, rough running, or an illuminated check engine light. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
