can anyone tell me where the cam shaft position sensor on a 94 explorer with the puchrod v-6? the repair manual says on the back of the engine.but i cant see the thing any where. HELP!!!
thanks

It's in one of three places...front engine block (5.0v8), rear engine block (4.0 pushrod v6), left valve cover (4.0 SOHC v6). Look again, it IS there. Has wires on it. Goes right into engine.

i read its on the back of the block, but is it under the upper intake, or on the back near where the tranny? im probaly looking at it and not even realizing it.

I have the 4.0 SOHC so mine is on the left valve cover. It was easy to spot. If your's in on the back of the block, you might have to remove something to get at it. Why do you need to get to it? Are you replacing it? If so, just buy the new one, then you'll know what you're looking for.

the cps on the 4.0, i was told it was bad, the trucks check engine light stays on it starts hard and idles rough. i want to have it tested because a new on is 370.00 bucks!

How did they determine the cps was bad?

computer test, at ford dealership, it came up cylinder identification sensor, but i was told it was th cps. thats why i wanna find it and have it tested. i really cant afford to take it back to the shop, cant really afford the new sensor either, but have to fix it.
