Had codes for misfires and camshaft sensors as well as knock sensor codes. I have don’t all but the knock sensor. Is there more than one on this engine? If so. If I pull the code would you be able to tell what sensor needs replacement?

It looks like there is one sensor on the left side of the engine block under the intake manifold. Here are the instructions and location of the sensor in the images below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
