How do you disconnect and replace the CMP sensor on Chevrolet Camaro?

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. For V6 engines, note that there are four CMP sensors, one for the intake camshaft and one for the exhaust on each cylinder head. Remove the engine cover. If removing the CMP sensors from the left side (Bank 2), take out the power steering reservoir. Disconnect the CMP sensor electrical connector, then remove the CMP sensor mounting bolt and the CMP sensor itself. Remove the CMP sensor O-ring and inspect its condition; if cracked, torn, or otherwise deteriorated, replace it. Lubricate the sensor O-ring with clean engine oil, and installation is the reverse of removal. For V8 engines, the sensor is located at the front of the engine, mounted on the timing chain cover. For L99 (VIN J) models, remove the water pump, then the alternator, followed by the alternator bracket mounting bolts and bracket. Remove the sensor and jumper harness assembly mounting bolts from the timing chain cover, disconnect the CMP sensor electrical connector and magnet connector, then remove the CMP sensor mounting bolt and the CMP sensor. Inspect the CMP sensor O-ring and replace it if necessary, lubricating it with clean engine oil before installation. For LS3 (VIN W) and LSA (VIN P) models, remove the drivebelts and idler pulley, then the alternator, followed by the bracket mounting bolts and bracket. Remove the sensor and jumper harness assembly mounting bolts from the timing chain cover, disconnect the engine harness electrical connector from the jumper harness connector, and then disconnect the sensor from the jumper harness connector. Inspect the CMP sensor O-ring and replace it if necessary, lubricating it with clean engine oil before installation.

Chevrolet Camaro Camshaft Position Sensor

The Chevrolet Camaro Camshaft Position Sensor is one of the most important parts to determine the position and the speed of the camshaft. This information is then fed to the engine control module (ECM) that controls the fuel injectors as well as the ignition timing thus enhancing the efficiency of the engine. Normally the Chevrolet Camaro's Camshaft Position Sensor is located right above the camshaft, although this may differ depending on the model. Various types of Camshaft Position Sensors have been used for years in Camaro vehicles through to present day, these sensors have been employed with crank sensors for better synchronizing of the engine especially in the models with VVT systems. The major difference between such sensors is their position on the engine and their further connection to other parts of the engine, which in their turn impact the general performances of the engine. The role of the Camshaft Position Sensor in any car cannot be played by any other part, therefore it is more critical in the Chevrolet Camaro to have it maintained to ensure once it gets damaged, it is heavily impactful on the car engine performance.

Each OEM Chevrolet Camaro Camshaft Position Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
