Where is the camshaft sensor located on this vehicle? Can it be self-replaced or because of location or complexity is it a repair that should be done by a mechanic/dealer?

If your car is a 4.0L there are no camshaft sensor. Only crankshaft sensor and timing sensor. Dont know your problem but if your car is not running it is very common that the crankshaft sensor is faulty. It is fairly easy replaced and located just above the crankshaft wheel atthe front of the engine. It is mounted with one 8mm boult.
