Hi,

A camshaft position sensor wasn't used on this engine. The engine is a traditional type with a timing chain connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft. It does have a crankshaft position sensor. It is on the right side of the engine, behind the A/C compressor. See the pic below. Is that what you are looking for?

What problems are you having with the vehicle? I literally had this same engine apart within the last two weeks. LOL

Let me know.
