hoopla Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 1995 GS 300 I am trying to replace my cam position sensor. The manual has a picture of it located at the bottom of the block directly behind the flywheel pully on the right (passenger) side. I removed the generator as per the manual however, I have searched for an hour with a flashlight and mirror but I cannot locate the sensor. I see an object that I believe is the cambelt tensioner but I see nothing that remotely looks like the cam position sensor, no protruding wires, no plug, nothing..... Is the manual in error? The car starts OK but has a rough idle unless I keep it above 1000 rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several hour job - you should get a good manual. The object you see at the bottom of the engine is probably the Timing Belt tensioner.

hoopla Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well, the downloaded pdf manual I purchased is wrong then. Ugh, I hate having to take off the manifold for a lousy sensor. Has anyone here changed one out? Any helpful tips or warnings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
