Car runs rough at start up
Hey guys I have a problem with my peugeot which is that almost every day when I start the car it runs very rough and uneven for about 30 sec and then it's runs so rough that the entire car vibrates and the engine light start blinking. So the I turn off and then on it again and the problem is gone and the car runs like normal and the engine light is nowhere to be found. When I read the eninge codes I get p1338 which the app says is the camshaft position sensor. So now I don't know what to do, anybody got any idea?

Re: Car runs rough at start up
Would help if you tell us what engine you have. Not all the engines have a cam position sensor, so the fault could possibly relate to the crank shaft sensor instead.
Of course you need to be mindful that the fault code only tells you what sensor has picked up an issue - the fault code doesn't mean the sensor is faulty, just that the sensor has reported something abnormal. Sometimes that's because the sensor is faulty, sometimes its because something else is causing an issue that the sensor is picking up on.

Re: Car runs rough at start up
No cam sensor on that engine. That code is misfire on No2. Have you tried looking at the plugs?
