Camshaft positon sensor

[crimsone96Q45]

morning all. had the car coded after the cel came on and its now giving me a camshaft position sensor, is this why the car seems to kick back down instead of staying 4th gear, not a hard kick but i can tell it doesnt want to stay. what the heck is this , has anyone had to replace it, what does it cost from joe ( their price is 450.00 ) where is it located ?

Thanks

Usually dirty corroded connectors not the unit itself.........clean with crc contact cleaner a few times and see.

really ?? ok that sounds like a plan tech, so the real question is where in the blazes is it. someone told me that it was ontop of the trans housing

thanks for the tip

The camshaft position sensors [CAS] bolts to the front of the drivers side exhaust cam external to the engine head.

The turbine sensor is atop the transmission.

Download the 96Q manual and spend a few days memorizing the first 300 pages.

If the FSM is in a PDF format, make sure you have Adobe Reader installed on your pc.

Did you download it from phatg20.net? If so, you need to get winRAR.
