Procedures:

The cam position sensors on this engine are located on each side of the engine on the front of each cylinder head. This time we are going to replacing the driver side sensor.

First we need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

remove 10 millimeter bolt right here

Pull the air intake plumbing out, lift up and pull it out of its socket

Next disconnect the connector on the sensor. There’s a tab on the back we push down and slide it off

Use a rag to clean around area, make sure that we don’t get any dirt inside the engine.

You can also blow off the area with compressed air

Remove the eight millimeter bolt that holds the sensor into the cylinder head

After taking out bolt, pull the sensor out of the socket , wiggle it a bit.

When you take your old sensor out, you’ll need to make sure that the O-ring comes out with the sensor and you need to make sure your new sensor has an O-ring on it.

Reinstall the new sensor, push it into the hole where the old one came from and make sure you seat the O-ring all the way in.

Torque eight millimeter bolt to 89 pounds or 7.4 foot-pounds

Attach the sensor plug from the wiring harness, reinstall air intake plumbing, then reinstall 10-millimeter bolt.

Torque the 10-millimeter bolt to 80inch pounds or 6.67 foot-pounds.

Lastly reconnect the negative terminal on our battery

Now we’re done.
