Hard/Rough Starts

[slipstream74]

A while back my car started having rough starts first thing in the morning. Starts after that and in the afternoon/evening were fine. Then I got a code indicating the camshaft sensor was bad. I replaced the sensor and it fixed everything. Now, a few months later, I'm having the same rough starts in the morning and after long periods of rest. If I crank it normally first thing in the morning, it barely wants to start and takes a second or two to catch up. I have to turn it over once then a second time, it starts with no problem. I'm wondering if the camshaft sensor is about to go bad again or if its another problem. I would hate to think that I'm going to have to replace that sensor every few months. Any ideas?

From other posts, aftermarket sensors seems to "go south" and start giving trouble. Others who bought theirs from a dealer don't have any other problems with the sensors.

You didn't mention what year, how many miles, NA or turbo, so we can't give much info for you.

Sorry. Its a 2003 GT Turbo with 71k miles. I learned my lesson from aftermarket sensors. I put only Chrysler OEM parts from the dealer.
