To find it on *your* car, you'll need to:
* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have diagrams showing the exact location.
* Use an online repair database: Sites like AllDataDIY, Mitchell1, or Chilton offer detailed repair information, often including diagrams, for a fee (or sometimes a free trial).
* Search online forums: Search for "[your car make, model, year] camshaft position sensor location" on forums dedicated to your vehicle. Someone may have already asked and answered this question with pictures.
Generally, the CMP sensor is located somewhere near the camshaft, often on the cylinder head or the valve cover. It might be on the front, side, or even the rear of the engine. It's usually a relatively small sensor with a single or multiple wires connected to it.
Do not attempt to locate the sensor without first consulting your vehicle's repair manual or a reliable online resource. Improperly handling engine components can lead to damage or injury.
