My truck has a check engine light, and the error code has come up with a camshaft position sensor (circuit bank 1). I have recently been using experiencing “jerking” and what feels like a delay from the time I hit the gas to the car actually accelerating. I found the part for about $20.00 and would like to replace it myself. How would I replace the sensor? Where exactly is it located, do you have any diagrams that would help? Thank you so much for your time and help!

The Camshaft Position Sensor is located on the engine, typically near the top and in the vicinity of the camshaft itself.

Bank one is on the same side as cylinder #1 here is the location of the sensor so you can replace it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
