I also have a new replacement camshaft sensor, but I was not able to figure out where it's located. Searched, but just could not find a picture of it that I understood... Probably basic knowledge, but beats me..[/QUOTE]
On the 1.8t the CAM sensor is on top of engine between the spark plugs - but as you describe it the car starts then cuts out - if the CAM sensor has packed up she would not start at all.
Simple rule of thumb - failed/failing CRANK sensor can cause non-starts and cut outs
failed/failing CAM sensor will only cause non-starts.
The Cam sensor only comes into play at engine ignition and thereafter does nothing.
The Crank sensor operates at ignition and also with the engine in operation telling the ECU the engine Revs - so if it fails it can cause cut outs/stalls as
well as non starts.
