Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition PC422 is an engine camshaft position sensor used to report camshaft position to the vehicle’s control system. On 1995-2002 Kia Sportage models, that signal helps the engine computer coordinate ignition and fuel delivery timing. If the original sensor is failing, this replacement provides the correct connector style and terminal configuration for the listed application.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 180-0376 and Spectra Premium S10225 for the same application. The PC422 is also referenced by several aftermarket interchange numbers, making it easier to match the correct sensor when servicing a Kia Sportage.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by an inconsistent camshaft position signal
• Intermittent stalling or rough running on Kia Sportage models
• Check engine light concerns related to camshaft position sensor faults
• Misfire or timing-related drivability complaints

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and sensor location before installation. For best results, inspect the harness connector for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged locking tabs before plugging in the new sensor. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model: Fits 1995-2002 Kia Sportage, N/A.
