Detailed Description

Holstein 2CAM0198 is built for vehicles that rely on a camshaft position signal to coordinate ignition timing and engine operation. This sensor is listed for right A bank applications on many Jaguar models, including 1997-2002 Jaguar XK8, 2000-2002 Jaguar XKR, 2000-2009 Jaguar XJ8, 2000-2009 Jaguar XJR, 2000-2009 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 2000-2008 Jaguar S-Type, and 2005-2009 Jaguar Super V8. It also fits 2003-2006 Jaguar XK8 and XKR on the left A bank, plus 2002 Ford Thunderbird and 2000-2002 Lincoln LS.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC322 and Beck/Arnley 180-0708 for the same application. The Holstein Parts 2CAM0198 is a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles that need the specified connector layout and bank-specific placement.

What It Helps Address

• Camshaft position sensor fault codes
• Rough running caused by an incorrect cam signal
• Hard starting related to camshaft timing input loss
• Intermittent stalling from sensor signal interruption
• Engine performance issues tied to bank-specific sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and bank location before installation. This sensor uses a square female connector with two blade terminals, so matching the original electrical interface is important. Confirm whether your vehicle calls for the right A bank or left A bank application, especially on Jaguar XK8 and XKR models where fitment varies by year and engine bank.

Quality Assurance

Holstein Parts supplies application-specific replacement sensors for ignition and engine management service. Confirm fitment against the vehicle year, make, model, and bank location before ordering.
