I’m looking to see where the cam shaft sensors are in my vehicle listed above. I’ve done the one on the driver side but I was told that there were two. Where is the other one located and what’s the procedure to get it out?
Thanks, Matt

Hello,

It looks like there is only one Camshaft Position Sensor on your vehicle. In the diagrams down below I have included a diagram of the sensors on your vehicle's engine. Please go through the guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,

I did the crank sensor above A/C compressor and the cam sensor. My van recently shut off while driving. So I pulled alternator out and it tested bad. So I replaced that along with the two sensors I mentioned earlier. But my engine still just cranks but won’t start. Any suggestions that you might have? Thanks

Hello again,

Okay, this could be a couple of different fuses that need to be checked. They are both located in the Main Fuse and Relay Box, which is located in your vehicle's engine compartment. They are Fuse #20(30A) EGI INJ and Fuse #21(20A) Fuel Pump. Here is a link to go to if you need to know how to check a fuse.

In the diagrams down below I have included a wiring diagram of the fuel pump circuit for your vehicle and the diagram and callout for the Main Fuse and Relay Box for reference. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
