The crabk sensor was a spoon full of puddin !! HI Located under the bottom of the engine (1) 5/16" bolt holds it in . I tested it at 500-900 ohms although it was bad , I replaced it . Now I took the cap off and rotor , nothing ( no cam sensor ) IN the distributor , I will look on the side of it toward the bottom today . Research says that you only have the crank sensor . My truck , trys to start , then it kicks back like it is out of timing . I hope its not the timing belt . 130,000 miles on truck . The crabk sensor was a spoon full of puddin !!

There are 12 common sensors and 10 internal sensors. The most common that often fail (MAP), (TPS), (CAM), (IGN), (CRANK) MAP is your mass air flow which is located at the beginning of your air intake, TPS is the throttle body position sensor, the CAM is the cam shaft position sensor (transmission), IGN ignition position sensor and the CRANK sensor is located near the bottom driver side front
the cam sensor is located on top of the engine in the front of the left side valve cover. the crank sensor is located on the right side of the engine block just above the starter.
You can check in the side of the block, above the starter for the crankshaft sensor. As for the camshaft sensor, for a 8.1L engine, it is located on the front of the enigne, that is, at the driver side. You would notice it is a grey 3 wire connector. But for a 5.3/6.0L enigne, it is on top of the engine in the back.
They are two different items. The cam sensor reports the position of the cam shaft(s) which operate the valves. The crank shaft sensor reports the position of the crank shaft, ie the position of the pistons.

I don' think there is a cam sensor.
