Where is the camshaft position sensor on a dodge 5.9 liter 1997?

On a 1997 Dodge 5.9L (likely a Magnum engine), the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is more critical for starting and running than a dedicated camshaft position sensor (CMP). Many vehicles of that era rely on the CKP for timing information and don't have a separate CMP. The 5.9L Magnum engine often uses the CKP signal alone to control the ignition timing and fuel injection.

Therefore, you're less likely to find a separate camshaft position sensor. If you're having issues with timing, focus your attention on the crankshaft position sensor first.

Location of the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP):

The CKP sensor on a 1997 Dodge 5.9L Magnum is typically located on the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley, at the front of the engine. You'll need to consult a repair manual specific to your year and model to get the exact location and a diagram. A repair manual with diagrams is crucial for this.

If you *are* looking for a specific sensor related to timing issues: Describe the symptoms you're experiencing, and it'll help in determining what sensor might be faulty. It's more likely to be the CKP, a distributor (if equipped), or even something like the ignition control module.
