The sensor itself is approximately $30 from any autoparts retail outlet. Typically however You will need to replace the whole syncronizer assembly if you are having the chirping issue. The whole assembly typically costs around $180. Stay away from the Dorman Part. It WILL Fail. A1 Cardone is known for being a direct Motorcraft Refurbished unit.
The camshaft position sensor is located beneath the wheel on a 1998 Ford Taurus 6 cylander Dohc.
No, a Generation 2 (1992-1995) Taurus/Sable Windshield will NOT fit a Generation 3 (1996-1999) Ford Taurus/Sable.
An arm and a leg.
Located in timing cover under front valve cover
(This answer Covers the "Generation 3" 1996-1999 Series Ford Motor Company Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.)Common issues on these vehicles includeMalfunctioning Transmission*Headgasket Failure*Camshaft position sensor and syncronizer failure (Vulcan equipped models)**Transmission Range Sensor Failure**Sagging rear end*Fogging or "crazed" headlight housings*-**Clogged Heater Core*Hard to access sparkplugs on the Duratec/DOHC engine* Denotes problems due to lack of maintenance.**Denotes problems incurred due to age.
P0340 means Camshaft Position Sensor Your cam position sensor or the wiring leading to it has gone bad. It will cause occasional rough running and hard starting until it is replaced. If you live in a county that does emissions testing, your car WILL FAIL unless it is fixed.

Does the camshaft position sensor drive the oil pump on a 99 ford tauraus 3.0 engine? Ford Taurus: 3.0 liter 12 valve engine, 1997 - 2006. The shaft that is used to rotate the camshaft position sensor also rotates the oil pump. The shaft is driven by a worm gear on the camshaft. The position sensor end of the shaft can fail and poor engine performance results, if the entire shaft quits rotating because of a gear failure the oil pump quits rotating (pumping) and the resulting lack of engine lubrication causes the crankshaft bearings to fail and the engine will stop (permanently) within seconds.
as soon as you put stress on the engine, (even letting out the clutch with no gas) it'll stall. plus it'll idle rough.
