I have a 98 mercury sable, after sitting for a while it will start and run fine, but if I stop the car after a short trip (10 min or less ) it wont start again for a long time. Now and again if I have drove it for a while and it sits and idles, it will die and not want to start again. I hooked it up to code scanner came back with faulty cam position sensor. I bought a new one, but do not know where it is located, any help would be appreciated

The Camshaft Position Sensor is located at the left rear of the engine block, between cylinder heads.
