Where is the camshaft sensor on a ford 5.4 Triton engine?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a Ford 5.4L Triton engine is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, near the front. It's usually mounted on the cylinder head, close to the front timing cover, and points towards the camshaft sprocket. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the year and specific configuration of the engine.

To be absolutely certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your year and model Ford vehicle. These manuals will have diagrams and precise locations.

* Use a reliable online parts diagram for your specific engine. Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to search by vehicle year, make, and model to access detailed diagrams.

Looking at a diagram is crucial because visually identifying it is much easier than trying to find it through a description alone.
