Camshaft Position sensor
Hi everybody! I am new to this forum and I would like to seek help in fixing my Volvo '96 850. My car occassionally would not start. After so many attempts of replacing parts related to ignition, I found out that when the CPS is taken out and sprayed with a cleaner, It would immediately start. The car would perfectly work for awhile (about 2 weeks) and starts to do the same. Due to fact that I had already spent fortune in guessing which part is really failing, I bought a used CPS and installed it. The car runs perfectly well for about 3 weeks before the original (won't start) problem occured.
Before I would buy a new CPS, is there a way to check this? Your suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Hi Tech,
Thanks for your response. Everythime I pull out the CPS, I make sure if there's any dirt, etc. and make sure I spray the sensor directly with an electronic contact cleaner. Nowadays I don't do that anymore. I just remove it and slap it immediately and it works for two weeks. As far as oil leaking on the CPS, there's none. Nice to hear from you again.
