My wife's van started acting up the other day. The van has a high pitch squeal until it warms up and then seems to be less noticeable. On the way home today it made a clunk sound and then it hesitated. It did this twice on the way home. I pulled the serpentine belt tonight and it still squeals. I read that it could be the camshaft sensor running dry. Could this be the cause and would it cause the motor to go clunk and hesitate or is it a spun bearing?

Where is the Camshaft position sensor located? Is it expensive to replace? Is the cam synchronizer bearing part of the sensor? Please explain the difference.
