On my 97 its under the distributor cap.
It would be important so that it plays properly.
it is important because was able to tell the correct date and time
It is extremely important as well as all other parts of the camshaft and cylinder head.
The Crankshaft spins twice for every single turn of the Camshaft. so it would be a 2:1 ratio.
I changed only the camshaft position sensor on my 2000 Kia Sportage. So I don't think so.
It is important to recognize when poor performance is due to a bad car part. Symptoms of a bad camshaft sensor are misfiring, hesitation during acceleration, and not starting.
The camshaft position sensor is located behind the intake manifold, on top of the block. It is difficult to get to, so be patient!
expensive. i paid about 115 for the camshaft position sensor including labor. maybe not so bad, but what a pain to figure out.
a camshaft moves the rods up and down as to open and close the valves. a rod rides on the camshaft and the lobes are oval, so every time it turns the rods are pushed up and when the lobe is down they are closed. this happens very fast, the rod rides on camshaft and pushes on rocker arms to open and close valves.
The camshaft closest to the intake manifold (closest to the passenger cabin) is the intake camshaft on the dual camshaft Saturn engines.

by the camshaft
All depending on the year of your vehicle will determine the location of the camshaft position. The camshaft position sensor, or cps, is located just under the head gasket. They are two different sensors, so be sure to deal with the correct one.
getting the marks aligned correctly is important to insure the amount of power you will have.
