Car going into limp mode at high RPM

Post by JackBabinski » Thu Apr 11, 2024 7:05 pm

The other day I was sending my car kinda hard down the road holding it at about 6k rpm and as I was accelerating the engine suddenly started chugging and power was greatly reduced. I was able to pull to the side and restarted the car and the issue went away. It happened again just recently under the same circumstances and restarting fixed it again. I checked it out with my code reader and both times I got “DME inlet camshaft position sensor: signal duration” as well as multiple misfires. I assume a bad sensor but what can I do to test it?
