1997 Camshaft Sensor
I have a 97 civic. I bought this for my daughter to drive back and forth to work. While driving the other day, it started jerking and sputtering. The check engine light came on so I took it to auto zone. The code came up that it was the cam shaft sensor. I have someone that will work on it but he's never worked on a civic and is not sure how to do it. Can someone help me with instructions on how to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't. Auto Zone did not give me the paper work. I'll have to back and ask for it. My daughter and I are trying to figure this out without having to take it to a shop. But not having much luck.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 1997 Camshaft Sensor
CKP/CYP/TDC are three different sensors that are inside the distributor, and there are at least 6 different fault codes that may be related to these sensors.
Knowing the specific code helps a lot.
Please note, aftermarket replacement distributors are usually crap.
