Yesterday my 2007 regular Mini Cooper Automatic check engine light came on a start up. The RPMs was a little high at 1500 and bouncing around a little. It usually runs at 900-1000rpm at a stop. I drive it around a little bit and it's rpms were still a little high coming in to stops. So I took it to Autozone for they could read the codes. Later the light went off and this morning no issues but later in the afternoon it came on again. Any body have these issues or any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance. Codes are below it came up with.

Code 1 P0113:Intake air temperature circuit high

Code 2 P0342:CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NO SIGNAL OR LOW SIGNAL

 

If anybody cares about the outcome of this problem, I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the camshaft sensor and it seems good now.

 

how much did the dealer charge you?

 

No charge as it was still under warranty.

 

solution?

My CEL is on and doing a scan I come up with the same code of P0342 Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Low. I see that there are 2 sensors. How do I know which one to replace? At close to $100.00 a piece I hate to replace the wrong one. Thanks.

 

I'm guessing that "A" camshaft is the intake cam (toward the rear side of the engine).

 

That's what I was thinking also, just wanted to know if anyone knew for sure.
Thanks!

 

OK. I got the new sensor. I was wondering, when I replace it, do I need to clear the code or will it go out on its own?
