Where is the cam position sensor located on a 1999 Ford Ranger?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 1999 Ford Ranger is located on the front of the engine, near the distributor (if equipped) or on the cylinder head near the camshaft sprocket.

It's important to note that the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (2.3L, 2.5L, 3.0L, or 4.0L V6). To be certain, you'll need to:

1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source of information. The manual will have diagrams showing the precise location.

2. Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) have online parts diagrams for your specific year and engine. Search by your vehicle's VIN or year/make/model/engine. Look for the diagram that shows the engine. The CMP sensor should be clearly identified.

Without knowing the specific engine in your 1999 Ford Ranger, providing a more precise location is difficult and potentially misleading. Use the above resources to find the exact location for your vehicle.
