Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 2002 Ford Mustang?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 2002 Ford Mustang (depending on the engine - 3.8L V6 or 4.6L V8) is typically located on the front of the engine, near the top of the timing cover, close to the camshaft sprocket.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine. To be completely certain, you should:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for your specific vehicle. The manual will have diagrams showing the location of all sensors.

* Use a repair manual specific to your Mustang's engine: These manuals often include detailed diagrams and photos showing the CMP sensor's location.

* Use an online parts diagram: Many websites (like auto parts stores' websites) offer free diagrams showing parts placement. Search for your year, make, model, and engine to find a diagram.

Remember to be careful when working near the engine. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal before starting any work to prevent accidental short circuits.
