Camshaft Position Sensor Install?
There's been some general discussion about replacing a bad camshaft position sensor. Can anyone provide a detailed set of instructions? What tools are needed, what (if anything) needs to be removed to get to the sensor, any possible problems related to replacing it?
Thanks in Advance.

I believe the process is the same with the Lancer. You will need a wrench with a 10mm socket and that is it. Really straightforward process. I changed mine in about 5 minutes, if that.

I understand that it's a pretty easy deal. Would it be possible to post a photo of exactly where it's located? Does anything (air filter housing etc...) have to be removed to get to it?
Oh. Please be concerned with my mental well-being anyway
Thanks.

I just had the same problem (posted on previous thread) and ordered the part.
AllData.com (DIY section, subsciption for repair manual) recommends taking the air filter. Doesn't look liek a bad idea - theres only about fifteen degrees to move the ratchet. I wasn't able to loosen the bolt much - may have been my old rachet.
I was able to retighten it; interestingly, the service engine light (code P340) hasn't come back on since. I was having some severe vibration from my tires; maybe this could have loosened it?
In any event, how many people have had this code come up, and how many have had to replace the sensor?

As I have searched the site and the internet for more helpful information, I am yet to find an actual picture of the device installed on the car in question. I am still confused on where it is.
