Shop Discount Camshaft Position Sensors

I have a 1997 saturn sl2 dual overhead cam. The read out is telling me I have a problem with the camshaft position sensor.I have not been able to locate one and is it located under the valve cover or outside on to block.

Please post the #s of your code reading. Just looked for "cam" sensor and didn't find location or if it had one but did show for crank sensor........

I didn't get #s on this one. What I got was.....camshaft position sensor A circuit bank 1 or single sensor....... I've looked at parts places and some say there is such a thing but even they don't have it when you click on that part? This is really screwwy.

This is what another parts site says for the look up..............

IDK - See if you can recover or get a real code #. Remember that even when it says a code for a sensor circuit means the circuit not that it needs a sensor so fast just sees a problem there.
? See if you see anything unplugged near where cam gears would be I guess otherwise I'm lost with info I'm searching for too,

Thanks for your help friend.I'm going to take the valve cover of and take a look this weekend.I will let you know what I find out.

does not use a CMP sensor....
the PCM decerns the #1 TDC compression (cylinder firing) by comparing ign coil resistance when #1 fires into compression compared to firing into exhaust-

... check secondary ignition, be sure to use OEM - if all is good replace coil...

With excellence Kev2 no surprise. I was beginning to think this was the planet Saturn with how little I found!

Kevin has it right.

Is this thing misfiring or running bad?

Would be nice to know which of the three CMP codes it is flagging.

Hello everyone. My name is Melanie, and I'm currently an automotive mechanics student in her early years of training. I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Limited convertible with a 2.7L engine, and it needs a new Camshaft Position Sensor. I just picked the part up from the dealer, but now I'm having problems getting the old sensor detached... it has some kind of clip system, and I am unsure of how to get these off without damaging the car. I will post a picture below of the type of sensor it is if it will help... this is not the cam sensor itself, but it was too hard to get a picture of.



Can anyone help me take these clips off? I feel like it's such a silly question, but I really don't know!

Thank you so much for any help you may have!

the red tab u got to pull out then pull apart after sqeezing the tab

I tried pulling the red tab out, but it's not budging... it seems like it's trapped in there somehow. Do you have to pull or push anything to free that tab up?

no just pull the tab out sometimes they can be a pain in that case i use a thin blade screw driver go on at the end of it and push it out it needs to come out
