Your Engine Stalling Over Oil Change? Cam Sensor’s the Real Culprit—ACTION Now! If your engine suddenly stalls or misfires right after an oil change, you’re not imagining it. One of the most overlooked causes? The camshaft sensor—a small but critical component that often gets ignored until it fails. ### Why Does Your Engine Stall Right After an Oil Change? During an oil change, debris, contaminants, or old degraded oil residues can affect engine sensors—especially the camshaft position sensor. This sensor monitors the position and movement of the camshaft to time fuel injection and ignition precisely. When oil—clean or contaminated—enters the sensor housing or affects the camshaft’s operation, it can disrupt signal accuracy, causing misfires, stalling, or even complete engine shutdown.
