April 2023 - Mopar has discontinued the cam sensor magnet, and we have had to switch to this aftermarket supplied cam sensor magnet.

If your Neon has been running a little rough and you are getting a check engine code: P0344, this code is for CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT. The idle can be rough and the engine will not rev past 2300rpms with this code.

Replacing the camshaft sensor will sometimes help but in some cases the problem is that the magnet needs to be replaced as well. Replacing both the sensor and magnet with new units is usually the fix needed to clear P0344.

This magnet works on all 2003-2005 Neons, 2003-2005 SRT-4's, also all 2003-2010 PT Cruisers.

Tech tip: Nigel at BrutalSpeed in NC once mentioned that when he installs these cam magnets, he puts RTV on the camshaft/back of the magnet. We believe he does this for two reasons 1) Bring the magnet a little closer to the sensor 2) Gives a little squish to the magnet to help prevent the magnet from cracking upon installation. We highly recommend you do this when installing.

Tech tip2: this needs to be torqued to 30 inch lbs on the camshaft. We have seen lots of people tighten these too hard, and crack the magnet, which will affect the cars idle/running. Be careful, use a torque wrench when replacing this magnet!

      OEM cams- sensor only goes in one way.
      Aftermarket cams- most are drilled with two slots. So, plug the magnet in, and if your car doesnt start, flip the magnet! =)

      No, if you notice, the description of the part does not list any 95-99 Neons or 00-02 Neons. This is because the 95-02 Neons and 01-02 PT Cruisers use a different cam sensor. Please search for part number 221264 in the search bar to find the cam sensor for 95-02 Neons and 01-02 PT Cruisers.
