Camshaft Position Sensor

Disconnect electrical connector from camshaft position sensors, located on side of cylinder head, near intake manifold. See Fig 1. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on each camshaft position sensor.
Replace camshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Reinstall electrical connectors on camshaft position sensors.
