Where is the camshaft sensor located on a 2001 GMC JIMMY?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 2001 GMC Jimmy (assuming it has the common 4.3L V6 engine) is typically located on the passenger side of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's often mounted directly to the cylinder head, fairly close to the camshaft sprocket. However, the exact position can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration.

To be certain, you should:

* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will give you a precise location with diagrams.

* Use a reliable online parts diagram: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or RockAuto often have diagrams you can search using your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine.

Looking at a parts diagram is the best way to get a definitive answer, as minor variations in engine design can affect the sensor's placement. Do not rely solely on general information.
