Where does the camsensor go on a 1997 Buick lesabre?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) location on a 1997 Buick LeSabre depends on the engine. The LeSabre used either a 3.1L V6 or a 3.8L V6 in 1997. They are in different locations.

You'll need to determine which engine you have. Once you know the engine size, a more precise answer can be given. However, generally:

* It's usually on the top or side of the engine block, near the camshaft. It will be a small sensor with a single wire connector. You might need to remove some components (like a cover or other parts) to see it clearly.

To find it with certainty:

1. Locate your owner's manual: It may have a diagram showing the sensor location.

2. Use a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and engine will have detailed diagrams and instructions.

3. Consult an online repair database: Sites like AllDataDIY (subscription required) or others offer diagrams and information.

4. Search online: A Google image search for "[Your Engine Size] Buick LeSabre camshaft position sensor location" might yield helpful images.

Caution: Before attempting to locate or replace the sensor yourself, be sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental short circuits.
