Service code said cam position sensor, Bought a new one and don't know where to find it on the engine to replace it.
SOURCE: Where is the cam shaft position sensor located?
It's not that hard to replaced, and can be done with common tools.
3.4 camshaft sensor removal:
Remove the serpentine belt, Disconnect the sensor wire harness, Remove the power steering pump (just remove it from the mount and out of the way), Remove the attachment bolt to the sensor, Remove the sensor, (note spray around the sensor with brake parts cleaner before removal to keep dirt from entering the engine)
To install:
Lubricate the new O ring with engine oil before installing the new camshaft sensor, Tighten the retaining bolt to 8 ft.lbs. connect the sensor's electrical wire, reinstall the power steering pump, reinstall the serpentine belt.
Start the car and go out for the night with the money you just saved, You can pick up the camshaft sensor at Auto Zone and they can also give you the step by step instructions to getting the job done. Good luck and hope this helps. Take's just under 1 1/2 hour to do. You can do it in under 1 hour though if your good with tools.

Likely the fan(s) not turning on when engine gets hot. Is the check engine light on? Read the code(s) and repair as needed. Check (when cold) the fan(s) for free turning--if seem bound or hard to turn, replace the ailing fan. Check the radiator and reservoir fluid level. Watch the fans as the engine heats up. Feel the radiator area where the upper engine hose connects. It will suddenly turn hot when the thermostat opens. The fan assembly should activate somewhat after. Hopefully, the engine code recognized a defective temp sensor and was replaced.

The Crank-Shaft Position sensor is bad. If you are not noticing any problems driving (engine dying for a second or stalling) you could reset the code and see if it appears again.
This is a dual sensor, so if one part fails it will continue to operate until the second part fails. But you don't want to get there as complete failure can cause major engine damage. If the code reappears or you have any symptoms of timing failure, replace this ASAP. Replacement requires a diagnostic tool capable of running through "learn mode" so the engine can adjust to the new sensor. Because of this I had to have it done at a shop.
