Looking for both camshaft sensor placements and how to access them "easily" ( I realize that may not be easily accessible ). I'm needing sensor B specifically

Are you getting codes, and if so what are they, also can you please double check the engine size? We show 5 and 6 cylinders. You have 2.4 liter engine? This guide may help you.

Let me know.

A: Sorry, was doing this on my phone so didn't think to get the codes. P03 is what I remember
B: I did end up finding it, it's underneath .. and I'm going to butcher this I'm sure .. but like the hard air line that goes over the engine towards the rear of the car ( the firewall? ) and towards the air filter on the driver side

It's under that and towards the back on the engine ( it was bank 1 sensor B or vice versa bank B sensor 1 ) I only have two. It's got a heat shield sheath around the cable. but thank you so much for answering!

To answer your questions it is a 1.6L Ecoboost (per the picture on the engine cover thing you have to take off to get access to the camshaft position sensor) Ford Transit Connect XLT

Thank you, I do need the entire codes to help you better, but I can tell you that sensor A is on the intake side of the engine and sensor B is on the exhaust side of the engine. Here is sensor A. Let me know what the code is, the problem might not be the sensor.

I'll have to get you the codes when I get home. But the check engine light hasn't come back on since I swapped it. Also where are you getting these pictures? Or even info? If there is a resource I can purchase / subscribe to to get access to it?
