Where is camshaft sensor on 2002 Lincoln LS?

The camshaft sensor location on a 2002 Lincoln LS depends on whether it has the 3.0L V6 or the 3.9L V8 engine. There's a camshaft position sensor for *each* camshaft (intake and exhaust).

To find the exact location, you'll need to:

1. Identify your engine: Check your vehicle's documentation or the engine bay itself to determine if you have a 3.0L V6 or a 3.9L V8 engine.

2. Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 2002 Lincoln LS and engine type will show you diagrams with the exact location of both the intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors. These manuals are available online (often as PDFs) or at auto parts stores.

3. Use a reliable online parts diagram: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or RockAuto allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine, and then view diagrams showing the location of various parts, including sensors.

General Area (but not precise): Expect the camshaft position sensors to be located somewhere near the camshafts themselves, on the engine block or cylinder head, usually fairly close to the timing cover. They are typically wired into the engine harness.

Without knowing your engine size, providing a more specific location is impossible. Using a repair manual or online parts diagram based on your specific engine is crucial for accurate identification.
