Hey everyone, I’m looking for the camshaft sensors in my 2005 S Type V8, located in Lawton Oklahoma. I don’t know a whole lot about my car, anything helps! Thank you!

I take it this is related to your other thread, about all kinds of misfire codes?:

If so, I highly doubt there is anything wrong with the sensors themselves. The sensors are just messengers, reporting the camshafts are not in the commanded location. Two likely scenarios:

1) The timing chain has jumped, as suggested in the other thread. In that case, the sensors are 100% accurate.

2) I'm only familiar with the V6, but I think the variable valve timing on the V8 also uses engine oil pressure as the muscle force. If the car was chugging at a very low idle speed due to some other fault, the oil pressure was likely very low, too, even if just briefly. This means not enough oil pressure was available to shift the camshaft timing. Once again, the sensors would be 100% accurate.

I'd suggest updating that other thread with more details such as engine type, any recent work done, etc. There is some good advice and questions there with no response, too. We need you to help us so we can help you. There are some very sharp guys on this forum. Don't just go throwing expensive parts at the problem.
