How are CMP sensors positioned and replaced on Pontiac G6?

On four-cylinder engines, the two CMP sensors are mounted on the sides of the engine near the timing chain, while on 3.5L and 3.9L V6 engines, the single CMP sensor is located at the top of the timing chain. In 3.6L V6 engines, there are four CMP sensors positioned at the timing chain end of the engine. Begin by removing the engine cover, and for 3.6L V6 models, also take off the air filter housing. Next, disconnect the electrical connector from the CMP sensor, then remove the sensor mounting bolt for V6 models. After that, take out the CMP sensor. For installation, reverse the removal steps, using a new O-ring lubricated with clean engine oil, and ensure the bolt is tightened securely.

Pontiac G6 Camshaft Position Sensor

The Camshaft Position Sensor as a Popular Automotive Part for the Pontiac G6 is an important part that helps in tracking the position and speed of a car's camshaft. This information is relayed to the engine control module (ECM) that controls fuel injectors and ignition duration for optimal performance of the engine. Usually, it is installed above the camshaft, but depending on the Pontiac G6 model, its location may differ. Crites in conjunction with the crank sensor, the Camshaft Position Sensor is vital in synchronizing engine operations especially in vehicles which have a variable valve timing system. They must work together in order to also properly time the injections of fuel in the cylinders as well as optimize the engine. It is necessary to keep the Camshaft Position Sensor clean as its damage results in various problems with the Pontiac G6's performance.

Each OEM Pontiac G6 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.
