Camshaft positioning sensor

The camshaft position sensor on a Peugeot 3008 can be located in different positions depending on the engine model and year of manufacture. Here are the possible locations:

1. On the engine cylinder head: In some Peugeot 3008 models, the camshaft position sensor is mounted on the engine cylinder head, near the camshaft.
2. Near the timing belt cover: In some other models, the camshaft position sensor is located near the timing belt cover. It can be either on the engine block or on the cylinder head.
3. Behind the camshaft pulley: In some Peugeot 3008 models, the camshaft position sensor is located behind the camshaft pulley.

To locate the camshaft position sensor on your specific Peugeot 3008 model, you should consult your owner's manual or a repair manual for your vehicle. Alternatively, you can seek the assistance of a professional mechanic or a Peugeot dealer.

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.

Your timing sounds off. Have someone read the engine codes to see if a sensor isnt working like a camshaft position sensor.

The camshaft position sensor is located on top of the engine near the ignition coils.
The camshaft position sensor is located on top of the engine near the ignition coils.
The camshaft position sensor is located on the engine near the timing belt cover and under the upper radiator hose.
The camshaft position sensor is either located near the top of the engine, passenger-s side, or on the right side of the engine near the ignition coils.
The camshaft position sensor is located on the engine near the camshaft pulley.
This sensor is located at the front of the engine near the camshaft gear this is what I got 6 different locations manual covers 99-05

The camshaft position sensor is located on the distributor for all engines designed for the 1998 Dodge Dakota. Accessing the sensor requires removing the distributor cap and the distributor rotor. The camshaft sensor pigtail comes through the front of the distributor and connects to the engine wiring harness above the intake manifold.

This should give you a clue as to how to replace the timing belt on the camshaft pulleys. Camshaft and Valve Lifters REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 1.6L Engine

They may be right. I cannot find the part. here is what the manual says:

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION The camshaft position sensor is located inside the distributor. On some distributors, the camshaft position sensor is not serviceable (replacement parts may not be available separately). If the camshaft position sensor is serviceable, use the following procedure.

1. Remove the distributor cap and wires.
2. Remove the rotor.
3. Remove the camshaft position sensor cap.
4. Remove the camshaft position sensor mounting screws.
5. Carefully remove the camshaft position sensor.

To install:

1. Position the camshaft position sensor in the distributor and tighten the mounting screws securely.
2. Install the camshaft position sensor cap.
3. Install the rotor.
4. Install the distributor cap and wires.

the camshaft sensor is mounted on the camshaft housing located on the end of the cylinder head.

The camshaft position sensor sends a signal to the PCM, powertrain control module. The PCM then determines spark plug firing. Could be the camshaft position sensor.

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3.0L (2V) Engine
The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (12126):

• is a single Hall-effect magnetic switch activated by a single vane which is driven by the camshaft (6250).
• provides camshaft position information which is used by the ignition coil (12029) and the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) for fuel synchronization.

3.0L (4V) Engine
The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (6B288) is:

• a variable reluctance sensor.
• triggered by the high-point mark on the LH exhaust camshaft sprocket (6256).
