2006 JCW Camshaft Position Sensor
Hey All,
So my car threw a check engine light today. The code is for a Camshaft Position Sensor. It looks like the part is around 120$. I am not sure how to find where this part is in the engine. I did some searching around on the forums and did not find a DIY guide. Has anyone changed this part in their car. Can I still drive the car with this sensor having issues? Any guidance that you all can offer would be great.

The camshaft sensor is at the front of the engine, in the end of the cylinder head. If you're looking at the engine its on the far left next to the bracket the goes over the engine mount. Its not that hard to change out really. Put a Jack stand under the engine, remove the support bracket at the front of the engine and replace the sensor.

no,
Crank sensor is on the front of the block which monitors the crank position
the cam position sensor is on the cylinder head and monitors the cam position.
the problem with the coding system through the obdII it will tell you the cam sensor is bad when it's actually the crank position sensor
