2. Drain cooling system. Remove upper radiator hose. Remove necessary components for removal of upper timing belt cover. Remove bolts, upper timing belt cover and gasket. Remove bolts and camshaft position sensor.

It's located in the side of the head as shown in the bottom of the picture. Check out the diagrams (Below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

The info I looked at was for 3.0L.

I'll double check that on a different database.

My other databases didn't show a cam sensor, showed a distributor. That was the only picture I found. Some of the text said, front of right cylinder head.
