Really need some assistance. Several weeks ago, I got a check engine light on my wife's 2003 boxster (2.7 liter engine). The code was P0410, camshaft sensor (right side), I replaced the sensor and still got the CEL. I had the car taken to Bauer Porsche, who removed the engine cover and did an inspection of the camshaft. They even adjusted and tightened up the camshaft adjusters and removed the sprocket. However, after all that, the damn check engine light indicating the camshaft sensor is still coming on!!! We are at our wits end and $1,295.00 loss. Can anyone recommend another option we haven't thought about. The alternative is a complete engine tear down, which would be more than the car is valued at. So, any help would be appreciated.
