12/22/2007
Dear James,
I do need your expertise, can you PLEASE tell me where can I locate the EXACT LOCATION of the Camshaft Position Sensor, where in the 1996 Taurus V6 engine area it is located? because I am getting OBD CODE P0340.

Much appreciation for your response.


Answer
First I should tell you that this code does not always mean that the camshaft position sensor is the problem.However,most of the time it is.I can tell you how I used to find most parts myself.I would go to the parts store,and either buy the part or take a real good look at it.I then look under the hood to find it.It should be pretty easy to find on you're car.Open the hood and stand at the passenger side.You will be looking for it on top of the engine around the timing belt cover.
