So I've had a dash like a christmas tree since 2 months after buying my truck 5 years ago. (150k then, replaced engine at 165k, 205k now.) Pulled several codes, and the longer I waited the more cascading codes came about. Vehicle runs fine, just annoying.
I recall early on when we did the codes it started with O2 sensors. Then others... then others. I've forgotten everything b'c it was never a problem. The only problem I notice (if it is even related), is a terrible exhaust odor 50% of the time.
I haven't done the O2 sensors b'c--- well, I'm "frugal." :heh: Hate to replace 1, or 2, or heck all 4! and it be of no help.
The new mechanic (knows I like to do a lot of my own work) pulled it as cam shaft position sensor bank 1.
Here's my thought... I've got not behavioral symptoms. Wouldn't a bad CSP sensor give me some kind of symptomology at some point in the last several years?
One CSP sensor is much better than 4 O2 sensors... but also not another $100+- I want to spend if it isn't needed.
Any ideas, or questions to pin to me, are appreciated.

(Lights are check engine, and the whole VSAC control series... which I've read both O2 and cam sensor can trigger to disable.)
