So, my check engine light is on. my cruise control only works if i'm going 25mph or less and when it turns off I can't get it back on until I turn the car off. My car bucks back and forth once I hit 3000rpm. If I go uphill the car will not accelerate, I will have it floored and it won't shift or go any faster... We have changed out the motor mounts, Should I replace the camshaft sensor... Any ideas?

I would start with the code P0016 which is crank or cam sensor out of sync.Does that code come right back if you clear it?

Hello, I am in a real jam. Camshaft position sensor needed replacing. I cannot get the thing out. The plastic broke off and now there is just a nub to grab onto. It is in a really bad spot to get a good grip on it too. I am at a loss. This is my wife's Facebook account just to be clear. We used it to sign in. I can usually fix almost anything myself but I cannot get this thing to free up at all!

Hello,

Use a small drill and drill into it, then thread a screw into the hole this should break it loose and get the sensor end out.
