Installation - 3.5L

The camshaft position sensor is installed in the timing belt housing cover above the left camshaft sprocket.

If the removed sensor is reinstalled, completely remove the old spacer from the sensor face. Attach a NEW SPACER to the face of the sensor before installation.  If installing a new sensor, confirm that the paper spacer is attached to the face (Fig 1 ).
