SOURCE: 2003 GMC Sierra Knock sensor and oil pressure??

the knock sensors are located below the intake plenum,or,upper intake manifold as some call it, they screw into the lower intake, the front one is sensor 1, the rear is sensor 2. it is wise to change both if you have some miles.since you are going to be buying a gasket set to do this job.the sensors are cheaper than the gaskets.

SOURCE: Where is the oil pressure sensor located on a 2003

It is on the top backside of the engine block, behind the intake manifold mounted into the top of the block. You will have to lean up over the engine to see it.

Camshaft position sensor location 2000 Honda Accord

A camshaft position (CMP) sensor is typically only used as a reference for sequential fuel injection into the cylinders by the powertrain control module (PCM). Technically speaking, the 2000 Honda Accord doesn't have a CMP sensor, rather a cylinder position sensor (CYP). This should not be confused with the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) which is primarily used for ignition timing. There are also two different engine options for the vehicle being the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine and the 3.0 V6 engine. Sensor locations will be different for each option so it's important to first identify which engine is in the vehicle. The CYP sensor for the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine is located inside the distributor and is not serviceable; the whole distributor would need to be replaced. The CYP sensor for the 3.0L V6 on the other hand is located behind the left camshaft pulley on the timing belt back cover and is a serviceable part.

Peugeot 3008 camshaft sensor location

The camshaft position sensor on a Peugeot 3008 can be located in different positions depending on the engine model and year of manufacture. Here are the possible locations:
  1. On the engine cylinder head: In some Peugeot 3008 models, the camshaft position sensor is mounted on the engine cylinder head, near the camshaft.
  2. Near the timing belt cover: In some other models, the camshaft position sensor is located near the timing belt cover. It can be either on the engine block or on the cylinder head.
  3. Behind the camshaft pulley: In some Peugeot 3008 models, the camshaft position sensor is located behind the camshaft pulley.
To locate the camshaft position sensor on your specific Peugeot 3008 model, you should consult your owner's manual or a repair manual for your vehicle. Alternatively, you can seek the assistance of a professional mechanic or a Peugeot dealer.

Location of camshaft position sensor on a 2002 oldsmobile bravada

4200 vortec, Its located in front of engine, its just below the engine oil fill cap, right by the coolant hose is the camshaft position sensor (CMP)
If your looking for the camshaft positioning actuator solenoid its location is on the exhaust manifold side on the top right corner of the cylinder head, if your looking at the motor from the exhaust side, its behind the power steering fill. You have to remove the belt to loosin the power steering pump through the pulley then kind of push it aside as you take out the camshaft actuator solenoid.

How to locate the oil pressure switch on a 03 tahoe with a 5.3 V8

The oil pressure sensor is located behind the intake manifold, at the very top and rear of the engine. It's in pretty much the same place as the old small block chevys have always had them (if you're familiar with them) It's right above where the transmission attaches to the engine. There is the camshaft sensor, right next to it, and the oil pressure sensor is the one to the driver's side. It' kind of a bear to get at , and even to see.

1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L engine. Oil

I'm assuming the engine is still running and no engine noise has occured due to loss of oil pressure, and it is just the gauge that is not reading? If so, the oil pressure switch that is located on the camshaft sensor, could have a bad connection or the oil sensor will need to be replaced. The oil sensor is located on the left side of the engine and is mounting horizontally on the camshaft sensor housing.

No oil pressure, camshaft position sensor error,

Yes, the sensor is in small housing the goes in the hole where the distributor used to go. That also drives the oil pump so don't drive it you'll ruin the engine. It's located down under the throttle body, near transmission end of the engine.
