To find it, you'll need to:
1. Identify your engine: Check the engine bay or your vehicle's documentation to determine the exact engine size and type.
2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the engine, obtain a repair manual specific to your year, make, model, and engine. This manual will have diagrams showing the precise location of the CMP sensor. Chilton and Haynes are popular choices.
3. Online resources: Search online using your specific engine details (e.g., "1995 Chevy Silverado 4.3L V6 camshaft position sensor location"). You might find pictures or videos showing its location. However, always cross-reference with a repair manual for accuracy.
Generally, the CMP sensor is located near the distributor (if equipped) or on the cylinder head near the camshaft. It's usually a small, somewhat cylindrical sensor with a single or multiple wires connected. However, its precise placement varies significantly between engine types.
