I have a 2000 escort zx2 and I have a check engine light

Question

That was diagnosed as a camshaft position sensor. We replaced the sensor and it was ok for about 2 weeks. The check engine light came back on and says the sensor is bad. Now the car overheats. What do i do?

Hi there

I would check the timing, sometimes if the timing is off you can get a code for the cam sensor that wont clear. The waterpump is driven by the belt on this car as well so it's possible it's being affected. This could cause the overheating
