Walker 235-2238 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

Walker 235-2238 Camshaft Position Sensor

Walker 235-2238 is a standard replacement engine camshaft position sensor built to monitor camshaft position and speed for accurate engine timing input. It supports precise synchronization between valve operation and fuel delivery, helping the engine control module maintain smooth operation, efficient combustion, and stable idle quality.

Key Features

• Standard replacement camshaft position sensor for ignition and engine management systems
• Hall Effect or magnetic induction sensing technology for accurate position feedback
• 3-wire design with a rectangular female connector
• Spade terminals with 3 terminal contacts and 1 connector
• Built for consistent signal output in demanding underhood conditions

Detailed Overview

Walker 235-2238 is engineered for vehicles that rely on a camshaft position signal to coordinate ignition timing and fuel injection. By reporting camshaft position and rotational speed to the ECM, this sensor helps maintain proper engine control during startup, idle, acceleration, and steady cruising. It is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers addressing drivability concerns on applications such as Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, where accurate camshaft signal input is critical to engine performance.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor May Resolve

• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Rough idle or unstable engine speed
• Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
• Intermittent stalling or hesitation during acceleration
• Poor fuel control caused by inaccurate camshaft timing data

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and wire configuration before installation. This Walker camshaft position sensor uses a rectangular female connector with 3 wires and spade terminals, so matching the original electrical connection is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle’s original sensor location and compare the old part number, including Walker 235-2238, before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products positions this sensor as a durable standard replacement component for reliable signal accuracy and long service life in normal engine bay conditions.
