    I'm throwing a Camshaft Position Sensor CEL code right now. My car drives fine, but I'm throwing that code. I looked up prices of the sensors, so they're not that bad so I could just order a new one. Only problem is I don't know where the sensor goes and if there is just one or two or possibly four. I guess I need to take my car by a dealership so they can check it out and find out where it is. Does anyone know where these sensors are located and if I could just check them myself to see which one is fouled or just not positioned correctly or something?

    Its never guaranteed that a new sensor will fix it tho, it could be a wiring problem. Be sure you check it out pretty thoroughly before buying a new sensor.

    You can change it yourself, if you need help let me know and I can walk you through it on the phone should only take 10 minutes, if your near Marietta I actually have a spare one.

    Could I maybe meet up with you and check out your spare sensor. How much would you want for it? By the way, I live in Downtown Atlanta, so I could meet you somewhere in between or in Marietta, I don't really care. I'm not from Atlanta though, so keep it simple so I won't get lost. :bigthumb:
