Hi all,

Car has been sitting for quite a bit this past year, and went to turn it on and it's running terrible. My buddy checked the codes and this came out: P007A and P0013. I had replaced the camshaft position sensor years ago. Is this possible to go bad that soon, considering the car isn't driven much? Is there anything I should look for before removing the intake.

What vehicle is this on? P0013 relates to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve signal. P007A relates to charge air temp sensor circuit...
Cam position sensor would be a different code.

2001 Firebird Formula. 5.7L. He's got one of those OB2 readers that sync with your phone, so maybe I need to get a rescan from a different tool?

most big chain auto parts store offer that service for free. I wonder if your buddy's phone app didn't have your 2001 Pontiac Firebird selected?

I don't think so I had drove it a month or so ago and it was fine and put new gas.

Does your scanner show "misfire counts"? You can also use stft/ltft to identify if the missing is only on one bank of cylinders.

Check for vacuum leaks ie. cracked vacuum hoses (pcv). Sparkplugs. Wires.
