Good Afternoon, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the Saturn. Now before the computer was replaced was any other work done to fix this exhaust camshaft error? what code exactly is setting currently?

i called twice and got voicemail. i suspect that we replaced the computer for no reason, depending on what code has set exactly we would have needed to test the wiring between the computer and the sensor first and then also verify timing if it was a camshaft related code. If this was not done i recommend we do it now but i suspect we replaced that computer for no reason.

i spent 914.00 for the computer just want to know how much this will cost
Automotive Expert
we wont know until further diagnostics are done. like i mentioned i believe you replaced the computer without it being needed unfortunately and your issue will either be wiring related or an engine timing fault if its a camshaft related code. we would need to inspect the wiring between the computer and that camshaft sensor and then also verify that timing is correct as well

EGG code p0400, multiple cylinder misfire, removed and cleaned egr and pipe with no change
Hi there. The P0400 EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve code may not be a valve not working. This code description is a EGR flow malfunction. The fact that your vehicle has multiple cylinder misfires leads me to believe the valve...

You may have potentially caused some damage to a speed sensor resulting in the vehicle not properly sifting in and out of gear.
