On Friday I was doing a substantial amount of highway driving, probably 100-150 miles in total. I pull into a shop to get some food, wait for the car to cool down 3 minutes, shut it off then got some food and came back. The motor will turn over, but there's some hesitation, almost wheezing as it barely reaches its idle. 2 or 3 seconds after the motor turns over, it dies. On the second attempt to get it running, I gave it some throttle, but again there is hesitation and 2-3 seconds after starting it will die.
I took it to a mechanic, the problem is a bad camshaft angle sensor. The bill will be a minimum of $800.
My question is, how much does a CAS cost? How hard would this be if I attempted to fix it myself?
