    Car wont start. Throwing Cam Sensor Code. Help Bros

    hey guys. So i noticed I was getting shitty gas mileage and next thing i know, CEL. woo. So I took it in to the boys at Induktion Motorsports and they VAG'd it, throwing a code (off the top of my head)

    CAM POSITION SENSOR- READING TOO HIGH blah blah blah (i wish i would have kept the paper)

    Needless to say, they cleared and off I drove. Two days later it was back, and the car wouldnt start. After about 10 minutes of trying, I popped the hood, saw nothing wrong, and it started back up. 24 hours, it took 3 key cranks to turn over. I am going to take it in tomorrow to induktion. Any suggestions or stories about this code? How screwed am i?

    Also: I got an oil change 2 weeks ago, 5w-30 pennzoil platinum full synthetic, i dont know if that could be related. Thanks guys.

    where did you get the oil changed? check the dipstick to make sure you have some in there, but the viscosity seems ok...

    Hey did you get to reset the light? Any other concerns since the sensor swap?

    Thanks again!
