Need help -camshaft sensor error and cat delete?
Hey guys so I just bought a 97 Lexus LS400 car was running good for a good while out of nowhere I just lost a lot of power and would not idle properly the only code that comes up is that camshaft position sensor bank 1 which I already ordered and I am currently waiting to receive but I had a question would the car not having catalytic converters also be a problem? Because the car does not have catalytic converters or O2 sensors but that does not come up when I search for codes

Do you have a straight pipe?
A bad camshaft position sensor can cause a misfire which would cause loss of power and possibly throttle response. Let us know what happens when you change it.

If I'm not mistaken, and hopefully someone enlightens us both, I don't think the O2 sensors would make you lose significant power.

The O2 sensors are a rather important item in the car and help determine air and fuel. There is no real benefit to removing the cats and straight piping without and x pipe will do the engine performance no favors.
