What is a Camshaft?

A camshaft sits at the engine's top end and is a vital component of your car's valve train, which allows air and fuel to enter the combustion chamber. Modern engines can have up to four camshafts (dual cams) with four valves per cylinder. The camshaft usually has egg-shaped cams that open and close the engine valves. It is driven by the crankshaft by the timing system, connected by a timing belt or timing chain.

Signs of a Broken Camshaft

There are a few signs your camshaft might be damaged. these include:

• Engine check light - this can be on for a number of reasons, but if it coincides with the other symptoms, then it might be worth checking your camshaft
• Lack of acceleration - if your vehicle accelerates poorly, it could be a sign of a broken camshaft
• Prone to stalling - if your car is stalling a lot, then you should get your camshaft checked
