Where is the cam shaft position sensor on 1997 Ford Taurus wagon?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) on a 1997 Ford Taurus wagon is located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's usually mounted on the valve cover, close to the camshaft itself. However, the exact position can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (3.0L Vulcan or 3.8L Vulcan).

To be absolutely certain, you should:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your 1997 Ford Taurus wagon's engine. This will have diagrams and precise locations.

* Use a reliable online parts diagram. Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to enter your vehicle's information and view a diagram showing the sensor's location.

Don't rely solely on general descriptions; visual confirmation is best to avoid misidentification.
