Hi,
It appears they are tied together. See pics 1 and 2 for descriptions.
My first thought is the sensor itself could be the issue. However, a stretched timing chain can also cause this type of issue.
By any chance, do you hear any rattling from the engine when running? I remember there being a technical service bulletin (TSB) indicating the Vanos (variable valve timing) bolt can come loose or even break.
Also, have you noticed a loss of power, rough idle, difficulty with starting or anything other?
Let me know.
Joe
