For archival purposes- the cam position sensor is located on the drivers side, towards the very back of the engine, between the intake manifold and the drivers side head. I'll take a pic when I'm finished out there.

So, I bought the sensor and got all ready to replace it, but I don't see where it is. I see the wire, but I lose it after it goes under some pink foam. Am I going to have to remove everything on the engine to get to it? Or is there an easy access hole to get to it?

I'm glad I finally got the P1309 then, because it explains the random misfires. I searched a few threads on changing the sensor, but haven't really found the info I'm looking for. Do you know if it is a difficult sensor to replace?

It only "feels" like it is misfiring sometimes. Otherwise, the car drives great. Now the misfire changes cylinders on its own- there is always a code for cylinder three, but sometimes 5 and 6 throw codes. Just today a new code came up- P1309. I had the guy drive the car for a while and then...

Hey guys, I've already sold my car, but I promised the guy that I would fix things if it broke in the first week or so. Well, just my luck- the day he drove it home, it starting misfiring. The code is a cylinder 3 and 5 misfire. I've swapped the coil packs and injectors with ones from other...

I had to buy a smaller, more efficient car since I drive close to 1,000 miles per week in my job (field sales). So, I bought a Diesel Jetta getting about 45 mpg. I'm eager to sell because I don't need to have two cars. Actually, I also have a project camaro I'm building, so in reality, I...

Price lowered to $6500. I need to sell this car.

Hey guys, I have my car for sale on Cars.com. I don't have the time to re-write the entire post, so here is a quick run down: -100k miles -4 extra 17" chrome wheels w/ snow tires -tow hitch and wiring harness -6 cd changer (in glove box, not in dash) -blue book is around $8,000 -i'm looking to...

Oh well, I went ahead and bought a used transmission with 30,000 miles on it. I'll have the car up and running again in a week, then its off to the magical land of eBay.

Here is the link to the item- it looks like I paid 695, not 650. But, the transaction was still under $800 with the squaretrade warranty that I bought with it. Ebay link The unit works flawlessly. Another reason I chose the D1 is that the lockout bypass is simple and works very well, as...

Its a 2000 v8, and it just rolled over 100,000 miles this weekend. It's really strange how it works for 20 minutes or so before anything happens- leads me to believe it is heat related?

I just bought and installed a pioneer AVIC-D1 (double din) nav system for 650 buy-it-now on ebay. I bought a 2 year warranty for it, and it was still under 750 total. Best deal in the world for nav systems. I love it- it works great.

Welp, I'm here again with the next problem of the week. I feel bad that I never have anything to contribute to this website, since every week the problem I'm encountering is something I've never dealt with before. Anyway, on to this week's problem.... My transmission is making noises and...

Thanks! I was careful not to let the flame get anywhere near plastic, and it doesn't look like I melted anything. I was just getting frustrated since I had already stopped once to go buy a T-50 socket. I read that somebody just yanked on theirs, but that didnt work for me. Jumpman: Just...

Is there anything wrong with these coils? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33689&viewitem=&item=160041204373 A set of 8 would only be around $160, but is motorcraft a good or bad coil maker?

Just to update the thread, I replaced the clockspring and it fixed the light. I didn't have a wheel puller, so I heated the metal of the steering wheel up using a propane torch on the lowest setting, and the wheel almost fell off. I wouldn't call it a stress free fix, but it was very...

I figured, but I needed to hear it from someone else! Thanks LS8Sport!

Hey guys, before I get into it, I just want to thank everybody for all the help I've gotten in the past on this site. LVC is the only thing keeping my car on the road! Now, on to my next issue- P0156. I've been dealing with an intermittant misfire that seems to have finally been fixed...

I've done quite a bit of searching to figure out that my airbag light (blinking 3-2) is probably the clockspring. I've also found the guide to steering wheel removal, so I'm all set. My only question is- if I pull off the steering wheel, can I look at the clockspring and tell if it is broken...

I wouldn't use the word "fact". Brake fluid has been my culprit in Advancetrak lights. It's happened twice since I've owned the car, once because I changed my brakes and lost some fluid, and once because I improperly bled the brakes. Each time, the light came on when the fluid went low, and...
