Just a quick question.. Where is this sensor located? i have read that on the legend(v6) it is behind the timing belt... But i know that it is in the Dizzy on other makes and motors(I4). So where is the vigor (I5) on located?

 

Behind the cam sprocket.

isnt that the cam angle sensor? thats what i have read... Any one have a pic, or blueprint?

 

Both sensors use the cam sprocket. The cylinder position sensor is in front, the crank position sensor is behind the sprocket.

 

Wow.. Thanks you very much.. Thats exactly what i needed..

 

any tips on how to remove it simpiler? or maybe a step by step..

 

im sure all you have to do it remove the valve cover, and remove the upper plastic sheild and it should be visable.

 

You have to remove the cam pulley which means pulling the timing belt. The hardest part about that is pulling the harmonic balancer. You'll need to buy or build a tool to hold the balancer so you can break the bolt loose. It's torqued pretty tight (185 ft/lbs ?) so if you build a tool, make it with a long handle. Get a service manual of some sort, I have a Chilton's that sucks but it's better than nothing. At least it has pictures!
