The check engine light was on in my 2004 Ford mustang. The code that came up was P0340. Which is the camshaft position sensor.
I would like to know where I can locate the the camshaft sensor so that I can install it my self. This will be my first time, so if you can give me thorough instructions as well please?

You replied to my question about the camshaft sensor but I cant really see what you put on there. Its just kind of a blur. Could you just give me the internet site so I can see it?

Thnks.
Julie

The car does start hard after warmed up. The left side head sensor is obvious behind the steering pump reservoir. The right side sensor is not in the same position. Perhaps The Chilton manual Ihave does a poor job of showing the location. It also does not confirm that the right side of engine is bank A.

Your Cam Position Sensor is located on the right side of the engine if you're looking at it from the front. It is a little black thing right under the valve cover.

You need to have the trouble code erased using a scan tool, removing battery cable does not work on newer vehicles such as this. The code is still stored even with battery disconnected.

I recently got a check engine light come on and scanned it and got the code P0340 which is Camshaft Position Sensor. So me and a buddy cleaned it and tested and ruled out the wires. So I came to the conclusion that itd have to be to the Sensor then, but I have read about the Alternator causing the problem with interference. How would I go about testing if this is the case instead of playing a guessing game and replacing the alternator & the Sensor?

The interference gets in by the wiring connectors insulation not being on correctly as long as it is insulated correctly there should be no interference. Try adding a little more insulation, clean sensor, clear codes and drive vehicle around to test?
