1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Camshaft Position Sensor Location?

I was driving over a construction plate in the road and my car half stalled but then kept going, after parking it later and then starting it back up i got a check engine for the camshaft position sensor. We cleared the code but it came back after starting the car up 3 times.

Can anyone help me locate where the camshaft position sensor is located under the hood? I tried to google it, but had no success.

SOURCE: The windows in the 95 oldsmobile cutlass ciera won't work at all

maybe the wire is severed where the door (drver dr) pivots. thats what was wrong with mine. there is a rubber boot with crinkles in it that hold all the wires together. you can also try replacing the switch board that controls the wndws on the drvr dr. hope that helps.

Follow the red wire from the battery towards the firewall. It will end at the starter.

My 1993 cutlas supreme stalls randomly while idling or driving , but restart right away

You will need to change the crank position sensor first and see if it corrects the problem. It is located behind the engine near the firewall. It's a bit tricky to get to it, you would need to rotate the engine forward then look under the exhaust manifold and under the cylinder closest to the drivers side. Use a 10 mm deep socket to loosen bolt. After replacement and it is still stalling then you will need to replace the ECM (vehicle computer). If it turns out to be the computer, go to your local junkyard to get an inexpensive replacement Click on the link below to view the CPS, it is around $22

1992 olds cutlass ciera keeps stalling out is there a main relay switch or ignition module switch that can be replaced? Where is it?Anyother ideas what could cause it to start, drive a few blocks, then...

could be a crankshaft position sensor located on the back side of the engine. There is a two wire plug on it and should be close to the freeze-out plugs. you will need an 8mm wrench to remove it.
