Where is a good place to get a cam shaft position sensor? Where is it located on the engine? Hard to replace? Can you do it yourself? Thanks for the help. I'll be researching later just thought Id drop a thread incase anyone had the info on hand. Thanks

 

On the side of the timing chain cover. I'd get a working one from a junkyard or a partout. I think it's easy (looks easy) to replace.

 

If you are standing at the passenger side of the car lookin towards the driver's side, It is located upper right (not too high, about waste high) on the timing cover. it is also magnetic so it may have some metal, or rust or something stuck to it.

 

 

Okay great, found the sensor, if my car keeps dying/wont start, and immediately after throws the code 0101 (camshaft sensor). Its the sensor going out right? Not my motor spinning apart?

 

Should be, never hurts to call a dealer to make sure. No damage should be done to the engine from the cam sensor being bad. On most cars the camshaft position sensor mainly helps injector timing (it tells the ecm when engine is at top dead center to start a new engine cycle). No matter what, the timing chain still controls where the cams are. Some ecms will not let the car run w/o a working sensor, but if it runs, mainly your car will get bad mileage and be hesitant. Pretty much run like poop.

BTW: my bad on the spelling (WASTE/WAIST), I do this at work. So I go back and forth in screens QUICKLY, so I do not get in trouble.

 

Haha thats alright. Thank you guys for the help. I called slOwreilly and they informed me there were three sensors. So uhm, yeah. They are ordering me all 3 and I get to pick which one I want. I really hope this does it, I'm sure it will. Sensor is incredibly visible. Car seems to run fine, except for when it wont start or just randomly dies in traffic, hehehe. Immediately after the code is thrown though, so I'm sure thats all it is. What's odd is this came up after I had some problems with my summit switch for my MEVI (it getting power, that sort of thing.) Anyway, thanks for the help.
