Where is the camshaft sensor located on alero?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) location on an Oldsmobile Alero varies slightly depending on the engine (2.2L or 2.4L) and the year. There isn't a single universal location.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Consult your Alero's repair manual: This is the most accurate way to determine the precise location. The manual will have diagrams and specific instructions.

2. Use an online repair database: Sites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or others often have repair guides and diagrams specific to your year and engine. Search using your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size.

3. Visually inspect the engine: The CMP sensor is typically located on the cylinder head, near the camshaft, and often has a single electrical connector. It may be on the front or the side of the engine, depending on the specific Alero. Be cautious when inspecting, as some areas of the engine are hot.

Without knowing the specific year and engine of your Alero, I cannot give you a more precise location. Providing this information will allow for a more accurate answer.
