The camshaft position sensor (CMP) is located on the front of the engine, on the driver's side. It is mounted in the camshaft housing, just below the intake manifold. The CMP is a magnetic sensor that reads the position of the camshaft. This information is used by the engine control module (ECM) to control the fuel injection and ignition timing.
