1993 Acura Vigor has camshaft sensors replaced and after 30 minutes of running the check engine light is back on with same code also cuts back?

There are a few potential reasons why your 1993 Acura Vigor's check engine light may come back on after replacing the camshaft sensors and cutting out after 30 minutes of running.

1. Faulty camshaft sensor installation. If the camshaft sensors were not properly installed, it could cause the engine to run erratically and trigger the check engine light. Make sure that the sensors are properly connected and seated in the correct position.

2. Faulty camshaft sensor. There is a possibility that one or both of the new camshaft sensors may be defective. Have the sensors tested to ensure that they are functioning properly.

3. Other engine issues. The check engine light can be triggered by a variety of other engine issues, such as a faulty ignition system, fuel system, or oxygen sensor. If the camshaft sensors are not the cause of the problem, you will need to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic to identify the underlying problem.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

* Check the engine oil level and condition. Low oil levels or dirty oil can cause the camshaft sensors to malfunction.

* Make sure that the engine is properly timed. Incorrect timing can cause the camshaft sensors to read incorrect data, which can lead to engine problems.

* Have the vehicle's electrical system checked. A faulty electrical system can cause the camshaft sensors to receive incorrect signals, which can lead to engine problems.

If you are unable to resolve the problem on your own, you should have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic.
