Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 2001 Ford Mustang?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 2001 Ford Mustang (depending on the engine - 3.8L V6 or 4.6L V8) is typically located on the front of the engine, near the timing cover. However, the exact location varies slightly depending on the engine.

To be sure, you should:

* Consult your owner's manual: This will have diagrams showing the sensor location.

* Use a repair manual specific to your Mustang's engine: These manuals provide detailed diagrams and instructions.

* Search online for a diagram specific to your engine: Searching "2001 Ford Mustang [3.8L or 4.6L] camshaft position sensor location" will likely yield images.

Without knowing the exact engine, a more precise location cannot be given. The sensor is usually mounted fairly close to the camshaft sprocket or gear, but not directly on it. It's usually a small sensor with a single or two-wire connector.
