Spectra S10241 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

Spectra S10241 Camshaft Position Sensor

The Spectra S10241 is an engine camshaft position sensor for ignition and fuel synchronization. It monitors camshaft position so the engine control system can identify cylinder firing order and coordinate injector and coil timing. Compatible with 1999-2005 Mazda Miata applications.

Key Features

• Camshaft position sensing for ignition timing and cylinder identification
• Supports synchronization of fuel injector and coil firing sequence
• OE-style replacement for Mazda Miata camshaft position sensor service
• Part number S10241 for catalog and cross-reference lookup
• Cross-references Standard Ignition PC360 for the same application

Detailed Description

Engine management depends on accurate camshaft signal input to maintain proper timing and sequential operation. The Spectra S10241 helps the control system determine which cylinder is firing, supporting stable ignition timing and coordinated fuel delivery. It is a direct-fit service part for 1999-2005 Mazda Miata models and is commonly searched as a Mazda Miata camshaft position sensor, Mazda Miata ignition sensor, or S10241 replacement sensor.

This part is also referenced by interchange numbers including 5S1336, 190254, 714543, 907833, BP4W18230, CAM360, CSS836, CSS9038, and SU4349.

What It Helps Address

• Camshaft signal loss or erratic sensor output
• Hard starting caused by incorrect timing input
• Misfire conditions related to synchronization errors
• Rough idle from inconsistent cylinder timing data
• Check engine light concerns tied to camshaft position feedback

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style and mounting location against the original sensor before installation. Inspect the harness, terminals, and surrounding timing components for damage or contamination that could affect signal quality. After replacement, clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Spectra positions this sensor as a functional replacement for engine timing and synchronization service on the listed Mazda Miata applications. Confirm fitment by year, model, and part number S10241 before ordering.
