the dealer found the CAM or CAN Sensor (the service advisor just said something wasn't communicating properly, I think he meant the Camshaft sensor) to be at fault and is currently ordering one for me under warranty.

My car had a hard time starting up this morning, it would sputter for the first 15 minutes then it was at a limp mode, no check light.

Then i drove it for 30 mins and the car did not have the limp mode.

I then drove to dealership, stopped turned off the car, hard time starting, i told them i wanted checked out with a Diagnostic tool. He said something to do with a cam sensor needed replacement. Since they didn't have any in stock, i would have to go back for replacement when they have it.

The car didn't crank for minutes, then finally started up. VDC, Traction Control, & Service Engine Soon indicator came back on and Limp mode is on. I'm going back on monday to get my sensors replaced, but anybody have idea where this sensor is located? I would like to take it out and dry it so I can drive my car in the dealership when the new sensor arrives at my dealer. Cheers
