OP Gack179 Newbie G Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 3 L.A., California	Can someone tell me how to find the camshaft position sensor on the Duratec V6?? I've got a CEL code P0340, camshaft position sensor circuit fault. In searching through the archives, it looks like it might be an easy job to replace the sensor (and much cheaper that having a shop do it). The Haynes manual has a murky photo of the sensor on the Zetec, but not much clear info for the Duratec. I'm not much of a mechanic, but my dad's more than competent and he couldn't figure out where it is either. Also, if anyone has replaced it, maybe a little info on the procedure? i.e. what, if anything, needs to be removed in order to access the sensor, etc...

Once you get the replacement part, you'll notice it right away. One or two small bolts in & out, and you're all set. Old car: '98 SVT T-Red K&N air filter; Ford Focus RS shift knob. Off to be auctioned off somewhere. New car: 2003 Honda Accord DX Sedan, 5-speed.
