Hi Dave,
Yeah I knew what you meant, but the Cam Pos is definitely used to determine which cylinder is on the firing stroke, so if they are sequential injection they won't run properly 
Just out of interest, as I'm not totally familiar with the 4 cylinder engines, do they definitely use sequential injection, or do they batch fire the injectors ?
If the latter then the sensor isn't really doing anything important 
Cheers Dave

Hi Dave,
I can’t state categorically it’s sequential however they’re fed from separate pins on the ECU so that would suggest it is.
How it copes presumably depends on how the ECU is programmed so what happens with one car/engine won’t necessarily happen with another.
My guess is it either goes over to batch firing or it tries the injector sequence on alternate revs A or alternate revs B (ABABABAB) & settles for the best one. If it were the later you’d wonder why they bother with the cam sensor, my as~umption there would be keeping down the work the ECU has to do is desirable.
I can’t detect any difference when disconnecting various sensors, I’ve not come across anything that reduces performance but I imagine emissions & fuel consumption take a hit.
Dave
I've changed above to my as~umption otherwise it gets changed to I disagreeumption

Apparently camshaft sensor is used to identify cylinder #1 for ignition.

That isn't to say more information isn't derived from that.

yup. done it. they have the same timings but more lift, and knobs in the same position sensor points for the Hall sensor.
rs2000 and scorpio 2.0 16v camshafts are all the same
