Where is camshaft posistion sensor located on 1996 Dodge van 318?

On a 1996 Dodge van with a 318 engine, the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) 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 gear.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration and even the manufacturing date within that model year. To be absolutely certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your 1996 Dodge van's 318 engine. These manuals provide detailed diagrams and descriptions.

* Use an online parts diagram resource: Many websites allow you to search by vehicle year, make, model, and engine to view parts diagrams. This can visually confirm the CMP sensor location.

Trying to find it visually yourself is also an option, but using a repair manual or parts diagram will make the process much easier and prevent any potential mistakes.
