The engine light is on and I get the P0010 code : camshaft position actuator circuit/open bank 1. Since this happened my Saturn aura 2008 smell gas when I start it and doesn't have as much power when I accelerate. I would like to know if I should only change the camshaft sensor or if I should also change the actuator solenoid valve. And will this most likely solve my problem. Also I would like to know where the sensor is located.
Thanks,

Hugh

Hello,

Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when changing the sensor Also I included diagrams (BELOW) to help you find and replace the camshaft position sensor on your car, there are two of them. This is a simple step by step, your car is BELOW.

1 - Ignition Coil 4
2 - Ignition Coil 3
3 - Ignition Coil 2
4 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid - Intake
5 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid - Exhaust
6 - Ignition Coil 1
7 - G107
8 - Engine Harness
9 - Engine Block Heater Connector
10 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 1
11 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2
12 - Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
13 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 (Exhaust)
14 - G110
15 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 1 (Intake)
16 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Solenoid

Please let us know what happens.
