Code reader is saying camshaft position sensor

Belt jumped a tooth or two or broke or slipped till engine made bad metal on metal sounds and died or dies without making any odd sounds?

Died without making Any sounds we didn’t know it had died untill I went to go tried to start it wouldn’t start just kept turning over

Did belt break?

It is an interference engine, which means that if timing belt breaks the valves are wrecked as they hit the pistons:

No but it is loose and warn

It it did not break then just re-time the engine and install new timing belt and any other items you would need if damaged like the idler/tensioner pulleys and water pump if its easier to do now then to have to pull it all apart to do in the future if it goes out.

It “jumped” timing as the mechanic said

It depends on how far out of time it is. If it has no resistance and belt is as loose as if it had broken then it may have moved far enough to get the valves, just need to determine just how out of time it is. I fit just moved a few teeth and died then your fine as far as the valves go.

Ok thank u ... is there any way of telling how far it is off by looking @ it or u have to run a test to find out ?

I would re-time it and install a new belt, basically do a timing belt install but while doing so rotate the engine to see if It makes any odd sounds or gets bound up, if not install new belt, It need to rotate over by hand and both heads & crank need to rotate at the same time, so this may not can be done if your belt will not do so, but can put in timing and feel for problems if none put the belt on then rotate it over by hand to find any if any problems before cranking it up first time. If it did hurt valves, the heads can be replaced or fixed and piston tops inspected when heads are off.

See where the timing marks are now in-correlation to where they should be, with crank pulley timing mark put the mark on case/block and TDC and see where the cam pulley(s) marks are.

The engine will die or not crank at all with the timing marks off by a very small amount, since belt did not break and at idle when it died I feel it can be re-timed and new belt installed.

Ok will do thank u :)

Its possible one head may have moved and the other did not or different amounts and one may have been damaged or not, The cam pulley(s) have a mark and so does the case/motor so you can see how far its out.

But it is turning over without any odds sounds just will not crank, if valves were broken and turning it over it would be making sounds or not turning over & I would not try to start it anymore.

Ok thanks that gives me some hope
