I had my check engine light checked and i was told the codes were p0014 and p0017. They said i needed a Camshaft sensor. I then notice a few days later my oil gauge dropped to 0 out of no where. It did this a couple times, is that due to me needing to replace the camshaft sensor?

The oil pressure and the cam sensor have nothing to do with each other. When the pressure dropped to 0, did you hear any knocking or ticking from the engine?

I don't know why, but this just showed up in my mail. Sorry it has been so long. Have you had any luck with the issue? It sounds like you have a bad sending unit.
