How do you replace manual lever position sensor on 1994 Mercury grand marquis?
The sensor is easily accessible from under the car. It is attached to the left side of the transmission pan with 2 screws. The instructions on the autozone repair guide show the transmission selector lever attached to the front side of the sensor, but this was not the case with my car.
Start with the car properly supported with the parking brake on and the gear shift in neutral.
Check the new switch: There is a line on the main body labeled neutral that should line up with a short line on the inner ring of the sensor.
There are 2 metric bolts holding the sensor to the car, remove these.
Remove the electrical connector from the old switch.
Compare the width of the bolt guides from the old switch to the new. In my case, the new switch guides were thinner than the old and I had to space the switch off with a few lock washers.
Connect the new switch to the electrical connector.
Slide the switch over the selection cylinder.
Screw in and tighten both bolts.
Even with hunting down the washers, it only took me about 2 minutes.
Are formula 1 cars the same in team set up?
no... set by driver preferences. usual differences will be front/rear wing set up which controls aerodynamic downforce at front/back of car respectively (ie how hard the air pushes the car down, but also increases resistance reducing top speed/acceleration).
Main difference I can think of is on some tracks Jenson Button (McLaren) is using Brembo brakes, while Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) is using Carbon Industries brakes. Other differences in set up will include:
> Brake balance - how much stopping power the brake pedal will apply to front/rear wheels - can cause oversteer/understeer in corners depending on drivers personal preference
> suspension set up (eg ride height, how firm the suspension is), can be configured to induce oversteer/understeer again depending on drivers style.
> fuel - one driver might carry a lighter fuel load which means they cannot run at 100% power for the whole race (or they will run out of fuel) but because they are lighter they can go faster and will have less tire wear - the driver might be gambling on a safety car allowing them to complete part of the race at lower power, or a poor qualifying (eg Webber in Shanghai, Rosberg in Suzuka 2011) starting at the back of the grid where traffic will limit capacity to run at full power
> tire strategy - drivers qualifying outside of the top 10 (or not setting a time in final qualifying) may chose different starting tire (option vs prime) and may also chose different strategies throughout the race.

How can you join formula drift?
Formula Drift is affiliated with several grassroots ProAm series which allow you to compete at a lower level with the winner of those series possibly earning a Formula Drift license.
some words from Formula Drift co-founder:
"Formula DRIFT continues to work with grassroots and regional drifting programs to progress the sport," said Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. "Formula DRIFT and its ProAm partners continue to bridge the gap between regional drivers and the touring professional driver. These regional programs serve to help a driver and team gain the experience of competing on a professional stage where they understand the rigors of a multi-round competition, how to budget properly, and learn what it takes to be a professional driver & team."
Alain Prost is a french formula 1 driver who drove between 1980 and 1993. He has a total of 4 formula 1 drivers championships on his name. He drove for McLaren, Renault, Williams and Ferrari during his illustrious career. He has more victories than any other racing driver except Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio.

How do you replace a camshaft position sensor on a 3.1 Pontiac grand prix se.?
IT_Architect
Location:
The camshaft position sensor is located beneath the power steering pump.
Special Tools Required:
Power Steering Pump Pulley Puller: You can borrow it from AutoZone for free, with a deposit. You can also buy it for $40. The quality is great.
Preparatory procedures:
These are steps are not strictly necessary, but they easily pay for themselves by making the job go far more efficiently. These few simple steps make a ton of space for you to work, rather than work in cramped quarters where it is difficult to work and see what you are doing.
1. Remove the body brace that runs across the battery. (3 bolts)
2. Remove the battery. (Two terminals and one hold-down bolt)
3. Remove the nut that secures the electrical junction box and let it down and toward the battery tray
4. Remove the two nuts that secure the coolant reservoir. With the tube still connected, swing it around to the front of the car.
*You now have 6 to 8 inches of clear space in the front of the engine.
Remove the old sensor:
1. Remove the serpentine belt
2. Remove the belt guard
3. Remove the power steering pump pulley.
*Note: Because the bracket that holds the power steering pump is in the shape of a C, you cannot lift the pump straight up, nor can you move it toward the back of the car to escape the C because the bank 2 fuel rail is in the way as well as another bracket. You cannot rotate the pump forward to flip it out of the C bracket because because the pulley and pump together form a channel around the C bracket. Thus, you must remove the pulley. The access holes in the pulley to remove the pump bolts are of no benefit in this application.
4. Remove the only the metal line from the power steering pump with a flare nut wrench.
5. Remove the 3 bolts securing the power steering pump to the accessory bracket.
6. Rotate the pump to free it from the C bracket, and lay it aside.
7. You can now clearly see the camshaft position sensor. Part of the intake gasket will cover part of the sensor. Trim this away. Clean the debris from around the sensor to prevent dirt from getting into the engine.
8. Remove the small bolt that secures the camshaft position sensor.
9. Using a long screw driver, break the sensor loose by forcing the sensor rotate in its hole. Afterwards, you will be able to pry it up and out with a long screw driver.
10. Clean out the sensor hole and give it a coat of oil.
11. Un-clip the old sensor from the wiring loom. There may be a gray lock tab on the connector. You must remove or cut that off first. You will not need it later. With a small screw drive, gently pry up the locking tab on the old sensor and disconnected it.
* That's it. Now all you need to do is put a little oil on the O rings of the new sensor, slide it in place, tighten down the retaining screw, and reassemble everything else in reverse order.
