Your vehicleâs camshaft position sensorâalso known as a cam sensor, cam angle sensor (CAS), and sometimes even CMP sensorâis a key component to your engine's ignition timing system.It is typically used on vehicles equipped with direct ignition (distributorless).he camshaft sensor detects these and gives a signal to the vehicleâs Electronic Control Module (ECM) or computer to let it know the position of the engineâs camshaft. Most cam sensors are hall effect or optical sensors, though some earlier versions were mechanical, driven by a gear similar to a distributor.
HP brings Lenovo's backflipping Yoga laptop design to the $400 price point. HP has rarely been afraid to copy good design. The company's Envy laptops have long resembled Apple's MacBooks, and last year many of the company's mid-range touchscreen machines adopted the detachable Asus Transformer style.
Take that, Chromebooks. HP's cute Stream 11 is one of the most affordable Windows laptops yet, at $199, and like its Google-powered rival, it is geared toward cloud-based computing. That's why HP and Microsoft throw in a whole terabyte of cloud storage for one year.P brags that the Stream 11 sports a fanless design, but it could probably use one. On our heat test, which involves streaming a full-screen Hulu video for 15 minutes, the bottom of the laptop hit 101 degrees Fahrenheit. That's well above our 95-degree comfort threshold.
