Where is the camshaft sensor located on a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette (which uses the 3.4L V6 engine) is typically located on the passenger side of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's usually mounted on the cylinder head itself, close to the camshaft sprocket.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on the exact engine configuration. To be certain, you should:

1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source of information. It will have diagrams showing the sensor's location.

2. Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to look up your vehicle and see diagrams of the engine components. Search for your year, make, and model, then look for the engine diagram.

Remember that working on your vehicle's engine can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable working on your car yourself, take it to a qualified mechanic.
