Where is the camshaft position sensor on a 2001 5.2 Dodge Ram sport?

On a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.2L V8 engine, the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's usually mounted on the cylinder head itself, close to the camshaft sprocket. You'll likely see a single-wire connector plugged into it.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on the exact engine configuration and any aftermarket modifications. It's best to consult a repair manual specific to your year and engine for the most accurate placement. A Chilton's or Haynes manual, or even a detailed online diagram from a reputable source, would be helpful. Looking at online parts diagrams using your VIN is also highly recommended.
