Cam position sensor location

[joaustin]

I have an engine code for the cam position sensor and the engine began to have a rough idle. Can anyone tell me where and how many cam position sensors there are and their location?

I believe you'll find that you have 4 of them -- two on each head. They're roughly circular, and about 2.5-3" in diameter, on the top/front of each head. They have small wires going in/out of them. Check to make sure the wires are secure, and not leaking oil. It's a common location for weepy oil leaks.

FWIW

Thank You found them and cleaned them now that code cleared up and now one showed up that is worded strange it reads just like this PO315 Crankshaft Position (CKP) System Variation Not Learned. Does that mean I need to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor or does it have a programming issue. But there is a definite miss when the car idles.

Good news on fixing the cam position code. I'm not familiar with the Tech-II, so I don't know if it has a "learn" facility, when it comes to the crank position. It seems that there has to be some way to do that. Sure would explain the rough running, if the timing's hit or miss.

Anyone with a Tech-II wanna chime in here?

BussMan,
There is a CKP System Variation Learn procedure....

I'm glad to hear that there is a way to "learn" this CKP info. I'm woefully ignorant of the Tech 2 capabilities, but it did seem likely that such a procedure existed.

I'm thankful (time-of-year comment) that my "Daphne" is running like a watch [knocking wood as I type]. I do hope it helps "joaustin" out, tho.

Thanks for chiming in.
