Could you tell me where the camshaft sensor goes for a 2001 nissan xterra 3.3L V6

the camshaft sensor is located into distribuitor.......The camshaft position sensor is a basic component of the engine control system. It monitors engine speed and piston position. These input signals to the ECMare used to control fuel injection, ignition timing and other functions.

The camshaft position sensor has a rotor plate and a wave-forming circuit. The rotor plate has 360 slits for a 1° (POS) signal and 6 slits for a 120° (REF) signal. The wave-forming circuit consists of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and photo diodes.

The rotor plate is positioned between the LED and the photo diode. The LED transmits light to the photo diode. As the rotor plate turns, the slits cut the light to generate rough-shaped pulses. These pulses are converted into on-off signals by the wave-forming circuit and sent to the ECM.

The distributor is not repairable and must be replaced as an assembly except distributor cap and rotor head.

NOTE: The rotor screw which secures the distributor rotor head to the distributor shaft must be torqued properly.

Hi Slim Jim,Here's a link to a pic where your oxygen sensor is. 2000 2004 Nissan Xterra Oxygen Sensor O2 Sensor Location V6 Engine Here's another link to some new oxygen sensors.Get the exact fit ones. Oxygen Sensor

We're is the camshaft sensors on a 2002 Nissan Xterra SE.. trying to replace both sensors

v6??? has 2

Thank you fo using Fixya

For your 01 Nissan xterra V6 3.3L. The sensor is located underneath the air intake manifold on top of the engine block.

All the best!

V6 3.3L The sensor is located underneath the air intake manifold on top of the engine block. This should take an experienced mechanic about 3-4 hours to replace.

Hope this help (remember rated this free help) Good luck.

Sometime just need tune up.

It's has a timing belt, also it's an interference engine, if belt goes bad it will bent valve's .

Your knock sensor is located undernesth the air intake manifold on top of the engine block. This goes for 2000-2004 xterra V6 3.3L models.
