Where P0345 camshaft sensor is located?????????????

Hey guys could you help me finding where the P0345 camshaft position sensor is located??? I recently changed P0340 (bank 1) the one closest to the intake, and now my car shut off again after 2 month and the P0345 (bank 2) poped up!
Don't know what's up with those camshaft sensors dieing on me?! ...but could anyone help me locating where is that (bank 2) P0345 is? Thanks in advance.

It's located on the rear of the head, just like the other bank.

Wait, what?

Look at where the CPS that you changed is. Then look forward, at the identical place on the front bank. Both CPSs are located in the rear of the heads.

ok I don't think it will be a problem of finding it. Usually it's a problem of ordering one. It's always messed up and always confusing just like it comes with the Oxygen Sensors =(
Well I will look for it when it gets brighter here, too dark right now to look where it is.

bank 2 camshaft sensor

The bank 2 camshaft sensor is located on the drivers side of the engine...on the right if standing in front of engine. It is directly on the right up towards the front, black plugin with green release switch...it is a simple unbolt, unplug and replug and rebolt...the sensor itself sits inside the engine...10 minute job.

This thread is over a year old, and it sounds like you're describing the CPS on the VQ30; irrelevant to this thread.
