94 Escort gives code 214- Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
I had the error once before some years back and it turned out to be that a new camshaft that was installed was missing the magnet that the sensor gets the signal from. That issue was addressed and the CEL went away.
Many months later I have started getting the same code again, but rather than being constant, it is only present while the engine warms up. Once I"m up to temp my CEL goes out, but the 214 code has me a bit confused.
Anyone know something about the cam sensor circuit that would explain why the CEL comes on during warmup? Any other things other than the cam circuit that would cause this?
The car seems to run just fine... just would prefer not to have the CEL issue. Since the light goes out after warmup I'll just assume the wiring is good and the cam sensor is working.
Is the engine temp sensor that feeds the computer connected to the cam circuit?
