Where is the cam shaft sensor located on a 1989 dodge B250 Ram Van?

The exact location of the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 1989 Dodge B250 Ram Van depends on the engine. These vans came with several different engines (e.g., various V6 and V8 options). There isn't a single universal answer.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Identify your engine: Look for an engine code (often stamped on a metal plate on the engine itself). This code will help you find the correct information in a repair manual or online.

2. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual specific to your year and engine will have diagrams showing the sensor's location.

3. Use online resources: Websites like auto parts store websites (e.g., AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts) often have diagrams and parts listings that can help you locate the sensor based on your engine. Search using your year, make, model, and engine code.

General Location Hints (But Not Guaranteed):

The CMP sensor is usually located on the side of the engine block near the camshaft, often near the distributor (if equipped). It may be mounted in the timing cover or directly on the camshaft itself depending on the engine design. It's typically a small, electronic sensor with a single or two-wire connector.

Without knowing the specific engine in your van, it's impossible to give a more precise location. Using the steps above is crucial for accurately identifying your CMP sensor.
