Vehicle had no loss of power, no stalling problems, no "hard starting" issues, started one morning was turned off for a minute or two then wouldn't start again. It cranks strong but just wont start. The DTC code is p0340 (cam position sensor) I'v found this is a common problem in this car but cant really find and accurate diagram for where this sensor is located or what I am to expect replacing it?

Appreciate it, I think this will solve the problem. If it had different symptoms it might be different story but it seems to add up. But checked the VIN and this is surely the right motor. I just couldn't seem to find the damn location of it online anywhere? lol thanks
