It is on the passenger side, back head, lower part of the head. It has 2 bolts holding it to the head and a plug-in harness. I changed mine by pulling the battery out andreaching across the front of the engine and unbolting it, after unplugging the wires. My book called for removing a lot on gear and taking 2hrs to change, I did it in less than 30 mins.

All they do is help with startup, the car will still run fine without a working one. When they go bad it usually indicates that the cam seal is bad too which is a ROYAL PITA to change(that one is anyway).

The car will run fine if the cam sensor has " completely failed " otherwise a failing sensor can still output a signal and wreck havoc with your driveability. I found this out the hard way.

So then just unplug the thing and see if your car runs properly. It just takes awhile to startup if it has failed totally.

Ditto. I pulled the codes and it led right to the sensor. I'd suggest pulling the codes before you start replacing sensors
