Trying to locate camshaft position sensor on Saturn SL1
Hi there:
This vehicle doesnt have a camshaft position sensor, it uses the crankshaft position sensor .. image link HERE.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

I think it's behind the motor inthe middle of the block. A crank sensor can set a cam code also.

I hate to tell you this, but there is not Camshaft Position Sensor on any 1.9L Single or Dual OHC. I assume you had someone read a Diagnostic Trouble Code from your PCM. They probably told you that you needed a Camshaft Position Sensor, and then offered to sell you one. I would recommend changing your spark plugs and your plug cables with FACTORY REPLACEMENTS. This will usually make the DTC go away. Aftermarket plugs and wires rarely work well for this engine. If you are looking for a CRANKSHAFT position sensor, look between the engine and transmission on the back side of the transmission. It is also known as the "transmission input speed sensor". More often than not though, your engine will not fire up if the Crank position sensor is not working. Hope this helps.

if you have high resistance in secondary ign. system (plug wires, ign.coil) this will cause this code to set. make sure you are using a high quality spark plug wire set. not from autozone!!! and denso non platinum tipped spark plugs. also use a diaelectric grease on plug wires to keep moisture out.
SOURCE: Where is the camshaft sensor located on a 1999
If you have the 1.9 SOHC, you don't have one. If you are getting an error code for a bad camshaft sensor, you either have a bad spark plug wire (#1) or corrosion where the plug wires go to the coils.
Swap wires from cylinder 1 to cylinder 2, and see if the check engine light goes away. (This is common on the staurn) If it does, replace the wire set.
