I have a 98 Chevy S10 pickup with 4 cylinder & 5 speed trans. While driving truck bucked or miss fired & the Service engine light came on. The truck seems to still run normally. Hooked a computer code reader to truck & the code that comes up is for the Cam position Sensor. Can anyone tell me where the Cam position sensor is located & how much of a project is it to replace it.

i dont know if this is any help but i found it on the net. if this doesnt help buy a chiltons auto manuel or go to a library usually they will have a chiltons. To the best of my knowledge a 98 2.2L 4-cyl does not have a cam sensor. It does however have a crank sensor and if you look at the lower crank pulley just to the back of the pulley and go around the pulley you should find the sensor mounted on a bracket. You should see what appears as a sprocket with widely spaced teeth on the engine side of the pulley. This "sprocket" so to speak is what the crank sensor "reads". I believe that the crank sensor is the only sensor used for engine timing. The 2.2 is an overhead cam engine design and a crank sensor wasn't used. I know this is the case for the 96 models, both 2.2L and 4.3L v-6 and the design has carried through current models to the best of my knowledge.

I have a 2000 S-10 2.2 liter 4 cylinder automatic. Can anyone tell me where the crankshaft position sensor is located. Its seems to be located on a different location than the '98. Either that or we got the wrong part.

I know the camshaft position sensor in my 1998 chevy is in the distributor. i have to replace it myself. i unplugged my mass air flow and air temp on my air intake near the filter so it would run. the part is anywhwre from 30 to 50 dollars. I also replaced my fuel pump because it quit working. i got a new one and it didnt have enough pressure build up i guess to make things work right.. i got another one after that and it runs fine now.
