The camshaft position sensor for a Mercury Mystique is located on top of the motor. It is bolted in the same place where older versions of the engine had a distributor.
no it's not.
yes
I believe it is only accessible by taking apart the transmission in the Mystique.
Connected to the bell housing. Fllow the wireing and you will find it.
Basically, yes. The Mystique was simply a re-badged Contour with a little bit more "luxury" trim. All major components (engines, transmissions, suspension, etc.) were the same.
Same year Mystique and Contour

If you're referring to the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique, check sites such as eBay, Craigslist, local salvage yards, etc.
The ignition timing for the Mystique, Contour, and new age Cougar are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and are not adjustable by the typical shade tree mechanic.
The camshaft position sensor is on the front of the engine block. It is on the right front about half way up.
