Cam sensor Change

[jay.denning73]

Does anyone have the cam sensor part number? Bank 2 if it matters.

Does anyone know how hard it is to change? I think I may be able to manage from the wheelchair if it slides in and out.

TIA,

  Jay

Not sure the part number... but you need to pull the valve cover off to replace it. It’s kind of a PIA.

better bank 2 than bank 1 LOL, but yeah ...

10 BL3Z-6B288-C Camshaft Position Sensor
TAURUS; 3.5L; W/ TURBO

$12.82 $8.11

Just 1 cent more than a spark plug!

Is there a video somewhere? Looks like it should just unbolt slide out and slide in?

What am I missing?

TIA

It does not seem like the valve cover needs removed for this?

Nope no need.  For vct solenoids, yes.

Cool thanks.

Bank 1 near the firewall?

Bank 2 closer to the radiator?
