2002 dodge ram 1500 5.9 camshaft position sensor location

Good morning,

It is at the back of the block on the passenger side.

I attached a picture for you of the location.

Remove the electrical connector and the attaching bolt.

So does that mean the sensor above the oil pan is the cam shaft sensor?

The picture I sent you is above the oil pan and is the crank sensor.

This is what I got. But the one above my oil pan is smaller and the connector points out not up? And the one above my oil pan has a hard plastic rubber thick ring where the gold is on the picture below. Did I get the wrong one?

That most likely is an aftermarket sensor which is different from the OEM sensor.

I just checked at many stores and yes, that is the correct sensor. It may look different but that is due to manufacturing.

Where do I find the crankshaft positioning sensor. How difficult will it be. And if there is pictures or diagrams you can send that would be awsome.

The CKP sensor is located on the back of the engine and runs off the flywheel/driveplate. Can be quiet complicated to gain access to if you do not have much experience with something like this.

My truck backfires and loses power when first cranked and loses rpm's and backfires within first three to six miles. Replaced rotary cap, button wires and plugs. Want to replace crankshaft position sensor just do not know where it is located.

Not the normal failure mode for a crank sensor. They normally either fail to work at all or they act up when hot. Backfires and low power on a cold engine sounds more like a vacuum leak that gets better as the engine warms up.

As for the sensor, it is bolted onto the right rear of the engine at the block/bellhousing split line just above the exhaust manifold.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft sensor?

A glowing check engine light, stalling, poor acceleration and bad fuel mileage are all possible signs your camshaft position sensor may be failing. Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car's computer get the maximum performance out of the engine.

Where is the camshaft position sensor located?

The Camshaft Position sensor is typically located in the cylinder head of the engine and has a cylindrical portion that inserts into the head. The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block.
