1. Gather your tools and materials.
You will need:
* A new camshaft sensor
* A 10mm socket wrench
* A ratchet
* A flat-head screwdriver
* A pair of pliers
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
This will prevent the engine from starting while you are working on it.
3. Locate the camshaft sensor.
The camshaft sensor is located on the front of the engine, near the top. It is a small, cylindrical sensor with a wire connector attached to it.
4. Remove the electrical connector from the camshaft sensor.
Use the flat-head screwdriver to pry open the locking tab on the connector, then pull the connector straight up.
5. Loosen the camshaft sensor mounting bolt.
Use the 10mm socket wrench to loosen the bolt that holds the camshaft sensor in place.
6. Remove the camshaft sensor.
Once the bolt is loose, you can use your hands to remove the camshaft sensor from the engine.
7. Install the new camshaft sensor.
Insert the new camshaft sensor into the engine block. Hand-tighten the mounting bolt.
8. Tighten the camshaft sensor mounting bolt.
Use the 10mm socket wrench to tighten the mounting bolt until it is snug.
9. Reconnect the electrical connector to the camshaft sensor.
Snap the connector into place until you hear the locking tab click.
10. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
Reconnect the negative battery cable to the battery.
11. Start the engine and check for leaks.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks around the camshaft sensor. If you see any leaks, tighten the mounting bolt until the leak stops.
Your camshaft sensor is now replaced!
