Ok guys, I need to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on bank one. Have any of you done this? Bank 2 is a cake walk, but the sensor on bank 1 is burried. It is barely visible. The only way to even see it, is if you take off the top engine cover, and look down next to a large cylinder, and past a hose. I do not know what this cylinder is, but it is firmly mounted. I can see the wires and the top of the connector, however, I cannot see the bolt that holds it in. Any advice anyone can offer? FYI, I have no local dealer, the car cannot be driven, my main mechanic is in the hospital, and I would prefer not to have it towed to some far off dealer.
