What is the 2001 Ford Taurus 3.0 Camshaft position sensor location?

You will find the 2001 Ford Taurus camshaft location sensor at the center line on the right side of the engine compartment. The sensor is located on the belt side of the engine, just at or below the valve cover of the cylinder head sealing line. The main function of the camshaft sensor is to define the camshaft's location as it is connected to the crankshaft. In order to calculate the amount of fuel it requires to inject for combustion and power, this data is then sent to the powertrain control module for use with the fuel injector and ignition system control. The control engine light on, trouble starting the vehicle or no ignition, and the car jerking or surging forward while accelerating are some of the indicators to look out for if You think You have a defective sensor.
