Yes, camshaft and crankshaft position sensor failures can cause significant issues with engine starting and performance in the Honda City. The crankshaft position sensor monitors the rotation of the crankshaft and sends this data to the ECU, while the camshaft position sensor monitors the position of the camshaft. If either sensor fails, the engine may struggle to start, o r it may stall shortly after starting. The Check Engine Light CEL may also turn on. Symptoms of a failing crankshaft sensor include difficulty starting the engine, engine stalling, o r misfires. To prevent breakdowns, Honda City owners should inspect these sensors regularly and replace them if they show signs of wear o r malfunction.
