No....Cam Sensors (or more correctly, Camshaft Position sensors) are completely unrelated to the Oxygen Sensors (also known as O2 or Lambda Sensors).
Camshaft Positions Sensors are mounted near the engine's Camshaft, and determine the relative position of the camshaft at any particular point in time. The engine control software uses this signal for a variety of engine control tasks.
The Oxygen Sensors are mounted in the exhaust manifold, exhaust system or in both (depending on the make, model, and year of the car. They are used by the engine control software to determine if the A/F mixture is rich or lean, which is then adjusted accordingly. They are also used by the engine control software to diagnose the catalytic converter (as required by EPA and CARB regulations).
These, of course, are two separate systems.

Where is an Oldsmobile intrigue 1999 ignition sensor?
Never heard of an "ignition sensor". Do you mean oxygen sensor, or maybe crank position sensor, or cam position sensor? There is an ignition "module" also... The oxygen sensor is on the exhaust manifold. The crank posiiton sensor is on the backside of the block. The cam position is on each head.
If the Cam sensor and oxygen sensor in a 2002 Mustang GT 15000 were replaced why would the computer still say they need to be change?
i had the same problem but only with the cam sensor. i took it to the shop and they told me the computer that powers the sensor was bad. cost 1,000 to replace (labor and all). good luck
Are the cam position sensor and crankshaft sensor the same thing in a 1999 sebring convertible v6?
No, the crank sensor reads crankshaft speed. The cam sensor reads camshaft speed. The cam sensor is on the distributor on a 1999 2.5L
Is the crank sensor the same as the cam sensor on a 1998 ford escort wagon?
No
Is the crankshaft sensor the same thing as a camshaft sensor?
No. The crank sensor reads the crankshaft location and speed. The cam sensor reads the camshaft.
Is the upstream oxygen sensor the same as the downstream oxygen sensor?
no. the upstream sensor is the one before the catalytic converter and the downstream is the one after
Is an oxygen sensor and fuel temperature sensor the same sensor on a 2002 dodge stratus?
No.
On a 1998 KIA Sportage is the oxygen sensor and mass air intake sensor the same?
NO They are not the same.
Is the CPS on a 1996 5.2 in the same place?
The crank sensor is on the top driver side of the bell housing. The cam sensor is inside the distributor.The crank sensor is on the top driver side of the bell housing. The cam sensor is inside the distributor.
How many oxygen sensors are there in the 02 sensors?
an o2 sensor is the same as an oxygen sensor. vehicles can have up to 4
