Finally! A video that actually shows what the darn bolts look like! "Pro" Tip: Don't take your vehicle apart over the course of years without labelling things or you too will be spending hours trying to find a video or pictures of stupid bolts! P.S. Irony is I used the 5.4 Triton timing videos to fix my truck about a year before I found this video.
Thanks for this video. I was able to do this job in a couple of hours, and so far the car is running smoothly. You almost scared me off with the bit about supporting the engine, but I found a different video that briefly showed it, and I was able to figure it out. Don’t know much about cars but it wasn’t as bad as I thought.
Thanks again
what was that video?
Thanks big time. It’s guys like you who make the shade tree mechanic look good.
if the wires break off the sensor and the sensor stays stuck in the engine (way too common). screw a long drywall screw straight into the sensor and then use pliers to remove. i have had to do this dozens of times
+Mike Brennan yeah I had my mini slide hammer with #8 wood screw ready to go but I was very lucky
Mike Brennan a 94 Chevy aluminum SUV a 94 Chevy SUV camshaft sensor
Thank you sir! I was wondering about that. 👍
Nice job, Brian. I have done a few of those myself and you made it look easy.
Since I own a 2001 alero v6, is the sensor positioned the same. Also the code I received is p0336, would those be the same or different sensors
This video is a god send. We were looking yesterday and thinking ok, washer reservoir out, alternator out and power steering pump as well. It's a good thing the only thing pulled so far is the washer tank🤙
What the little black cap that you put on it .whats it called and were can i buy it
good video, camera angles could see what was going on. good audio, clear procedure explanations. best of all... he didnt try to be funny, or cameo shots of a dogs ass, or talk about his vacation.... just to the ponit on how to do the job. great video.
Your video was loud and clear, thank you.
Where does the other end of the wires connect or do they hang loose?
I have a 2009 impala and I need to replace my camshaft but can't find nothing on the internet on how to do it for my 09
Very perfect in every way ie clear and to the point and reassuring . thanks
Thank you for your support and help greatly appreciated 👍
not certain but would that make a car like a Malibu run rough and often start with a jerk when placing into gear? Help!!
where did the sensor plug go into ? how high to go up with engine
Well we’ll done video idk if I could of done it any better or showed it as easy as u did plus it’s perfect for ppl whom don’t have special tools like tensioner tool extra . Good job sent it to my daughter in Florida and she was able to understand it better then me explain it to her thank you 👍🏼🤙🏼😊🙏🏼
Great video it was very detailed and simple
How long does the sensor replace take???
Best video I seen for my car. Thank u
What tools did you use
Is this most of the 3.4 locations on silhouette
Best how to video man keep up the work I'm having problems with my 04 alero would love if you good give me some pointers
I have a Z34 Monte Carlo I have a Haynes manual and I took the pump off and it says it is right there for 3.4 engines, I do not see this thing dude. Help lol
I have a 1995 Pontiac Firebird with the 3.4 l I have no spark I have changed the coils I have changed the cam sensor and I have changed the ignition module what is left with a bad crank position sensor make it not run even with a good cam sensor please someone help me I do not understand
Another great video.
Very good video I congratulate you, thanks for sharing these videos .. greetings from beautifull sonorous mexico !! joshua rodriguez .. I subscribed to your channel !
Great vid! Dude! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks bro helped out a lot !!!
my family member has a similar engine to that but it's a 3.4L V6 3400 from a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero, is the sensor in the same location?
never mind, I looked at the title and answered my own question lol
Could you just remove the power steering fluid housing to get access. The part that contains the power steering fluid
Buen día, q sensor es el que cambio? saludos
What are some symptoms of a bad crankshaft sensor
Hard starts rough idle loss of power engine stalls bad gas mileage
Nice video, Brian. Can you please explain in more detail how to support the engine with your method (wood and jack)?
Haynes suggests using a 3-point engine support fixture www.amazon.com/OEMTOOLS-24951-Point-Engine-Support/dp/B01GGBOQT2
Place a block on the jack and jack up to the oil pan and just lightly push up on the engine not too much just so it supports it not pushes on it
Was hoping you would've shown where the wiring harness goes.
I haven’t been able to find that part? The ones at auto zone are different than that
Get some one to get number or letters Off of it and color and Look it up on a Line it be cheaper to and what car it comes of don't take but 3 or 4 days to get it thru mail from a car company
Does anyone know where the crankshaft sencer located on a 2000 buick century 2000? PLEASE ANYONE HELP
2002 as well...
Good job... Excelent
good video , thanks for share
Just got into bed after doing this and oh my god was it hell first my csp sensor got stuck the plastic housing around it snapped after using it for leverage couldn’t route the wires through how the oem ones where (under a vacuum line) once i finally got the damn steering pump back into place I spent a good half hour just trying to mount the pump because the thing wouldn’t stop moving anyways a few swings with a breaker bar swears and curses and now dedicating one of the said bolts to the extra optionals pile I now have a stripped battery terminal and have to wait on that very fun gm very fun…
What is going to stop that thing from starting in the morning the camshaft there going to be is causes a cold start I don't understand why it won't start in the morning that's it gets above 50° it'll start I don't know why
2004 Impala won't turn over what is the problem
It's a good video but unfortunately this does not apply to the 3.4L V6 in a Buick Rendezvous as the PS lines are routed UNDER the alternator not on top like yours. Now way for me to remove the PS pump without disconnecting the lines (thanks GM).
Hi does the new one comes with a wire?
Yes
Damn thats why i cant get it to come out did not move pump
What should I do if my camshaft sensor is stuck, I tried to pull it of same way the guy in the video did but the wires came clean off and I'm stumped..
The sensor is plastic so what you do is screw in a drywall screw and that gives you a place to grip onto it with a vice grips to wiggle and twist it out.
BSG Automotive
Never ever grab and pull anything by the wires....
That will prevent another accident next time.
You are looking at a good set of circular grip plyers
Or rig something up with zip ties around the sensor and pull with a better tool
I ended up drilling a screw into it then pulled it out with some pliers
It's possible to put a small flat blade screwdriver to the edge of the sensor and gently tap it under and pry a bit and it should come out. If you broke the wires, the pigtail is available for the replacement sensor or a separate part. And just splice the new pigtail to the old wires and it's a fix.
Thank you
Dam good job!
Some later models I've come across require the removal of the power steering pump pulley to gain clearance past the intake and front cover there, so some viewers will want to make sure the have a puller or rent one from a parts store. I like the wood screw technique, I'll have to try that if I ever have the wires break.
For once a clear and concise video that actually shows you how to do something
No camera wind noise no heavy breathing no babbling no constant tools constantly click clacking against the throughout the entire video
Thanks dude👍🏼👍🏼
so is this what makes your car kill sometimes when you start to push down on the accelerator cause when I started my car an then began to leave my car just stop on me an I had to restart it again an it been doing this so when I got a test on it this the code that it gave me saying it was the camshaft position sensor..... let me know bro
QUINCY WILLIAMS my 1993 camaro 3.4l died on me while driving 5 times while driving it would take a minute to start back up was this cam sensor the problem
Mine to
My 3.1 engine is running rough and should not run rough and starting from idle with a jerk. Next, change the sensor that is already giving s 341 error plus it added a 118 error.
@@barnettelectronicsreviews3797 got it fix on my monte Carlo an never stopped on me since drives real good an had a lot of things change on it recently
thanks.
Ok so I forgot to disconnect battery what do I do
I was able to change my camshaft sensor do to this video but now I cannot get the code to clear what should I do next

I'm interested in buying a newer Ford Taurus 2010+ I wanted to know what are some of the persistent repairs on Taurus ?!?!
BSG automotive?!?!
forgot the gm crank/cam variation relearn....
+phil holbrook yeah but is it really necessary for a cam sensor? I know crank sensor replacements are a must but not cams. Is this a GM thing?
yes. its a gm thing. itll throw a cam/crank correlation code if it isn't done. I didn't do the procedure once and it was a comeback
you only have to do it if you change the relationship between the crankshaft and harmonic balancer. Like replacing the crank or harmonic balancer and etc. the sensor has nothing to do with a relearn. since all it does is read them. so as long as you get oem parts you shouldn't have a problem. I've replaced the cam/24x crankshaft sensor on a beretta at the same time and guess what. I didn't do a relearn and it's a 96 model.
Yeah that is what I though same on the Fords only if the crank pulley was removed and replaced the relearn needs to be done. The customer has not had any codes pop up and has passed emissions testing so they are happy!
good vid but i need sensor b not a.
