camshaft position sensor where is it 07 tahoe

[llllljrlllll]

Where is it located, has anybody changed this on their Tahoe, I don't feel like paying the mechanic 280 for something that only takes 10 minutes to install. Also does anybody know where i can purchase it besides pepboys and autozone which are selling it for $120. Either online, or somewhere in Los Angeles, California Thanks

At some point in time, this might happen to you. And you will feel happy to find the answer to your question. Over 2000 people have looked at tuckin 28's thread, hey even I did. But normal joes who can't afford to buy 28's and want to have a decent running tahoe, and don't feel like paying a mechanic $280 for a 10 minute job. Hey, I'll even do a tech on it with pictures, so those that have the same issue which is engine light on trouble code 340, and 341 camshaft position sensor gone bad. Help a brother out, Does anybody know the answer to my question that can help out, or at least point me in a direction where i can find this info by myself. Thanks.

A dealership should be able to show you a diagram of where the part mounts... even if you don't purchase the part or pay them to do the work. Do the auto parts stores include installation instructions with their replacements?

I would also see if you can find a Chilton's manual (or someone on the forum who has one).

I'll try to go to the dealer this week, i'll keep posted if they actually do that. Now as far as the auto parts store, no they just include a warranty if one comes with it.

Hey Jr, I read his thread, but did not say anything becase I have no clue how to fix it.
I can tell yout that you WILL need a Crank Relearn done after replacing it to get your check engine light off, look for a Napa Auto Care Center to that for you.

What up mod, you know i was looking in youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKYjpa84m6Y, here is another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_uAnQFjTI4&feature=related and I found a bunch of videos on it. In one of the videos it actually says that there is no relearning, it's just disconnect and reconnect with the new one. All it is, it's just a sensor, here, this is what it looks like

Oh, I was under the impression you do, it says online in alot of places it is needed after a ECM swap, or Crankshaft sensor swap, look here:http://www.cardone.com/english/club/products/electronics/protech/tech_bulletins/PT 70-77-0003.pdf

your right, if it was the crankshaft you need to do the relearning part, but this is the camshaft position sensor, so no relearning, take out, put new one in. Hopefully i'm not wrong.
