Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1997 Chevrolet K 3500?
Inside the timing chain cover there is a crank position sprocket and a sensor that connects into the side of the timing chain cover. There is also a sensor in the distributor(this is the camshaft position sensor). The connector faces the firewall. To setup your timing you have to rotate the distributor to 0 deg or you will get a P1345 code. A timing light won't help. If you don't have the right equipment you need to take it to the dealer or keep adjusting the distributor until the code goes away. Jon
What is a camshaft positioning sensor?
Modern electronically controlled engines use a sensor to keep track of the position of the pistons for spark timing. Since all the moving parts in the engine are mechaically linked, only one sesor anywhere in the system can provide the required information. Most systems put this sensor on the crankshaft. But a sensor on the camshaft would also work. The sensor itself is a simple magnet and pickup coil. The coil sends out a pulse every time the magnet passes it.

A throttle position sensor might keep the engine from starting. Any number of things can cause a vehicle not to start. The starter and the gas line sensors are also a possible culprit.
What does inspection code p1309 means?
This code could mean: * the camshaft position sensor could be defective, * the camshaft synchronizer (the part that took the place of the distributor on DIS engines) has failed, * if you have recently had the camshaft synchronizer replaced it could be out of time. Alignment tools are available DenLors, however they are not usually needed if the old synchronizer is marked carefully before removal, many tech's keep a small bottle of white touch up paint in their tool box for this purpose.
What makes my car completely turn off while stopping or waiting for a light?
The 2 most likely causes that come to mind are 1: Faulty idle control valve or 2: Faulty camshaft position sensor. Does the car start up from cold ok? Or do you have to keep your foot on the gas to keep it dying on you? If that's the case, it's probably the idle control valve. Is the engine light on? And does the engine sometimes hesitate and splutter even when you are giving it some gas? If so, get the fault code read. It's probably a faulty sensor. In my case, a crankshaft position sensor. Hope this helps!
