I did call the dealership and all they told me was that it is located in the center and on top of the engine. If you know where it is please let me know thanks guys!!! Senior Member iTrader: (1)

Join Date: 05-04-10 Location: STL Posts: 454 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts All I could find on the cam sensor was ... "the cam sensor is located on the driver's side at the rear of the engine...it's butted up against the engine pretty much....look for a cylindrical aluminum housing above the thermostat housing...that's the camshaft position sensor housing....it's bolted to the back of that" I took a look and the only thing I could possibly see him talking about was this..
But I've never seen a cam sensor in a housing before. New Member Thread Starter

I called the dealer and they told me that my 06 2.2 cobalt does have a camshaft sensor!! What I am going to do is pull the picture from this forum and try to find it. Senior Member iTrader: (1)

Join Date: 10-04-07 Location: lewisville tx Posts: 446 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts The code should be P0340. I'm having the same problem on my 05. I think it might be my plugs though, I put the e3 plugs in and sense I did that the code has been showing. From what I have found at least on mine is that I dont actually have a camshaft sensor its all done my magic from my ICM and Coil pack. New Member Thread Starter
Join Date: 08-17-09 Location: Lake Jackson TX Posts: 31 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Yeah I have E 3 spark plugs also I am thinking about taking them out and putting the standard Ac Delco plugs back in and seeing what happens. I did check with the dealer and they told me that the 2006 chevy cobalt LT doesn't have a camshaft but all the camshaft motions go through the ICM. So I am going to try that and see what happens. Also I know this is random but how many catalyic converters does the 2006 chevy cobalt have? I happend to look under my car and and it looked like I have two of them. One is about a 12 to 16 inches back from the exhaust manifold and the other is on down the exhaust. I may have a C02 sensor out maybe but not sure. But thanks guys for your help I will keep you all updated and I will also get the code four you all. Banned

Switch back to AC Delco Iridiums for best performance, longevity, and fuel economy. New Member

You DO NOT have a cam sensor. Assumption would be OP got rid of E3 plugs and everything returned to normal, so your plugs could be bad New Member

bought the car used, with it only being 2 yrs. old. Senior Member iTrader: (6)
Join Date: 07-19-10 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 26,434 They're double Pt not Ir like they should be. You've driven how many miles over 2yrs that would explain the going bad now. Plugs are about ~30 (get AC Delco Ir plugs they cost more but are what the engines are designed for) and a gap checker is ~1 make sure the new ones are gapped correctly. New Member

[QUOTE=nellz87;7612497] I was able to order a cam shaft sensor when I first started this dead end deal ! Then after finding out I guess rhisv2.2 doesn't have a camshaft sensor.... I even asked the Chevy dealer.. an that's what they said as well... Can't smog with engine light on.. after I replace a oart..light goes out.. after drive cycle (which is ridiculously hard to get done living in the sticks.. here.. mountain roads etc.. ) after I do manage to complete it so I can get monitors all ready for smog.. after shutting it off.. . next time I start it.. I'll drive about 800 to 1000 ft an engine light back on! P0340 ! I've replaced the spark plugs, coils .. crank shaft sensor .. purge valve..an the ICM. So..if what some say is true an this car doesn't have a cam shaft sensor.. how is it the engine light keeps basically saying it does? And if it's some kinda issue.. I would think a recall would have been in order?!? I don't know what to do about a problem part that I can't fix cuz my cat doesn't have the part on it to fix!! WTH 🤪🤔 I'm just bout to give up an just push it off a cliff..!! if anyone has a solution to my issue..or answers questions..or u can put some clarity to my confusion. . or maybe u know of a cliff.🤪. please don't hesitate !!

Join Date: 07-19-10 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 26,434 What plugs and ICM did you install? OEM or the least expensive you could find on amazon? I've had issues with less expensive control units failing out of the box or after a few drive cycles I found this from another forum, might be helpful: This ignition system does not use a conventional camshaft position (CMP) sensor that detects valve train position. The ignition control module (ICM) detects when #1 or #3 cylinder has fired on the cylinders compression stroke using sensing circuitry integrated within each coil. The sensing circuit detects the polarity and the strength of the secondary voltage output. The higher output is always at the event cylinder. The ICM sends a CMP signal to the engine control module (ECM) based on the voltage difference between the event and waste cylinder firing energy. This system is called compression sense ignition. By monitoring the CMP and crankshaft position (CKP) signals, the ECM can accurately sequence the fuel injectors. If the ECM does not receive a CMP signal from the ICM, DTC P0340 sets. ---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ---------- More info: � The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC � A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. � A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. � Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
