If the sensor is bad I believe a check engine code will be stored. But if the distributor is chirping there will not be a code. You will hear a chirping sound like a loose belt coming from the drivers side of the engine near the air intake. The camshaft sensor and it's distributor are under the intake, where the ignition distributor used to be. If it is chirping you should replace it (the dist. the sensor is ok) or have it replaced. The gear that drives it also drives the oil pump. If it fails you loose the oil pump as well and there goes your engine.
how do you replace the camshaft position sensor on a 1997 plymouth voyager 3l
The position of the camshaft sensor on your 1997 Camaro is dependent upon the type of engine in the Camaro. In most cases the camshaft position sensor is on the back of the left-hand cylinder head.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the camshaft position sensor on these engines is built into the distributor. You'd have to replace the whole thing.

its located in the distributor at the back of the motor.
Does the camshaft position sensor drive the oil pump on a 99 ford tauraus 3.0 engine? Ford Taurus: 3.0 liter 12 valve engine, 1997 - 2006. The shaft that is used to rotate the camshaft position sensor also rotates the oil pump. The shaft is driven by a worm gear on the camshaft. The position sensor end of the shaft can fail and poor engine performance results, if the entire shaft quits rotating because of a gear failure the oil pump quits rotating (pumping) and the resulting lack of engine lubrication causes the crankshaft bearings to fail and the engine will stop (permanently) within seconds.
have you checked inside the distributor . good luck
