needing location of cam sensor and how hard to replace. Do not have the car to look at at the moment 00 S-type 3.0

 

Rear passenger side of engine. Not too hard to replace. Why would you need to change this sensor? They typically do not go bad.

 

Customer asked where sensor was I got the car in today has a code p1383. They went to autozone and had it read so they assumed that is what it needed. Am going to check out today. Any common things on this code

Thanks

Mike

 

That code is covered by a TSB S303-09 saying it can be falsely flagged. Read TSB for the fix, which is not to swap the sensor!

 

That link you sent opened but was only like a build sheet that told vehicle specs.

 

I sent no link.

 

Sorry to repost but still opens only a page with acronym's no repair info
Like. 4wd four wheel drive
A/C air conditioning etc. is all that is in that link
Thanks

Mike

 

Er.... try reading my signature which says it is for Acronyms. As someone doing car repairs surely you know where to find TSBs for any make!!

 

Try this link.

 

Spoon-feeding or what? lol

 

P1383 is related to the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) - Over Retarded - Bank 1 - not related to the cam sensor - could be a false flag which is covered extensively on the forum - When was your oil last changed? The VVT passages are narrow and gunk up easily...
