Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 2004 Ford Freestar minivan?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 2004 Ford Freestar is located on the front of the engine, near the cylinder head, on the passenger side. It's usually mounted fairly close to the camshaft sprocket or gear itself.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on the engine type (3.9L or 4.2L V6). A repair manual specific to your vehicle's engine will give the most accurate location and visual aid. You can find these manuals online (often as PDFs) or at auto parts stores.

A visual inspection, with the engine cover off (if applicable), will also help pinpoint the sensor's location. It's usually a relatively small sensor with a single or two-wire connector.
