2014 Kia Forte 1.8L P2191 Fault Code: Camshaft Position Sensor Issue After Replacements
My 2014 Kia Forte 1.8L is showing a P2191 fault code, which indicates an issue with the camshaft position sensor. I've already replaced the camshaft sensors twice, but the problem persists. The car runs fine under normal conditions, yet when attempting to start it, the engine only cranks without igniting. The only way to get it to start is by pressing the gas pedal. Recently, a new P219-1 code appeared — labeled as an oxygen sensor issue — even though this code wasn't present before. I'm unsure whether this is related to the camshaft sensor or if there's another underlying cause. Since I don't want to spend a large amount on dealership repairs, I'm seeking advice from other owners who have encountered similar issues. Can anyone confirm if P2191 in a 2014 Kia Forte points directly to a camshaft sensor problem? What troubleshooting steps should I take next?
The P2191 code on a 2014 Kia Forte typically relates to the camshaft position sensor, not the oxygen sensor. It's possible that the issue is still related to the camshaft sensor despite replacements. Can you confirm if the OBD2 scanner shows any additional codes or if the vehicle has been scanned with a reliable diagnostic tool? This would help determine whether the sensor is faulty or if there's an electrical connection, wiring, or grounding issue.
