Behind the cam drive pulleys The electrical connector is located under the top engine cover forward of #1 sparkplug. To reach the Cam Sensor it is necessary to remove the upper cam belt cover. This may require removing the “Alternator Drive Pulley” in order to get enough room to get the cover out of the way. The Cam Position sensor is behind the cam drive pulleys directly below the electrical connector.

The cam sensor is in the distributor.
I had the same problem. I changed the cam shaft sensor,oxygen sensor,used "sea foam",replaced spark plugs and had it diagnosed dozens of times only to find out it was the head gasket was blown. I had no water/oil mixture,so I overlooked it. A last ditch effort to check the lifters revealed the problem. Hope this help ya.
if it is dule overhead cams the only thing to adjust is cam end play witch should be 0.003-0.009 and the cam shaft bolts should be tighten to 12 ft.lbs (67 nm)
were is the cam shaft sensor
Cam position is taken from the distributor, there is no external cam sensor.
Hope this will help it happend to me. It was my cam sensor and the dealer fixed it for free.
Take plastic engine cover off, which is on top of engine. You will find 4 Allen screws holding the cover in place. The cover is mounted on top of the valve covers. Camshaft position sensor is located to the left of the engine...(looking at engine) you will see two cam gears, sensor is located between the gears. Good luck!
It is inside the distributor. You have to replace the distributor to service the cam sensor.
