Where is the cam position sensor located on a 1998 Ford Windstar 3.8 engine?

On a 1998 Ford Windstar with the 3.8L engine, the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) is typically located on the passenger side of the engine, near the front (timing cover area). It's usually mounted on the cylinder head, relatively close to the camshaft itself.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration. It's best to consult a repair manual specific to your 1998 Ford Windstar 3.8L engine to get the precise location with a diagram. A Haynes or Chilton manual, or a digital equivalent, will be very helpful. You can also use online parts diagrams that allow you to specify your year, make, and model. These diagrams often show the sensor's location clearly.
