Where is camshaft sensor on 5.2 grand Cherokee?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) location on a 5.2L Grand Cherokee (likely referring to a pre-2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L Magnum V8) varies slightly depending on the exact year and engine configuration, but it's generally found on the passenger side (right side) of the engine.

It's usually located near the front of the cylinder head, either on the top of the cylinder head itself or on the valve cover near the front. It's a fairly small sensor, often with a single electrical connector.

To be certain:

1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most accurate source for the exact location on your specific year and model.

2. Use a reliable online parts diagram: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or RockAuto allow you to select your year/make/model and view diagrams showing the sensor's position.

Because you're working on a vehicle's engine, it is extremely important to be absolutely sure of the correct sensor location before attempting any repairs. Incorrect identification could lead to further engine damage or injury.
