Cam shift sensor. now I need an engine 2004 sensor

may depends on the engine size sitting there.
J20? or H24
2.0 twin cam I4 or V6 2.5L
the j20 cam sensor is on the left rear of cam .
the j25 is same.
here ill toss coin for you, ive answered this on this form 100s of times. now... with photos.
cam sensor are almost always next to front or rear ends of cams.
some v6s have 2. not this V6
ill guess, V6
so here it is.
called CAS cam angle sensor or CMP
the parts list views and actual photos too.

Fuel filter first thing to check after having contaminated fuel removed. Clogged fuel injectors, crank or cam sensors.

check flexplate,i had a vehicle w/ 2.7 that would throw similar codes(cyl miss code that would change to"cam counter" then weird tranny codes and back)changed cntroll box on trans,coils,cam sensor .ended up being a cracked flexplate that shifted enough it was screwing with crankshaft sensor.the sbec(brain box) was going nuts trying to figure out why cam/crank signals didnt jive so it was basically"guessing" why.its a mechanical failure causing good sensors to read bad,if the codes come back or throw diffrent ones after reset look at non computer causes,dealer should know better.

The cam sensor is supplied a reference voltage by the engine computer and the cam sensor should generate a signal back to the engine computer above 50 rpm of the engine cranking. The problem could be a faulty purchased cam sensor (yes this happens sometimes although rare) fwiring connector problem at cam sensor or faulty engine computer.

P0340 - Cam Timing

SYMPTOMS/CONDITIONS
of a mistimed camshaft system (all must apply):

1. Camshafts have previously been removed from the engine.
2. Engine runs rough.
3. Vehicle sets P0340 (camshaft sensor code).
4. Camshaft sensor has been checked with a known, properly operating camshaft sensor.

CORRECT:
The diagram in the manuals should show the timing marks on both cam gears to be on the blue timing chain links.

you could try flushing your transmission oil and replaceing the filter if that doesnt work it gonna be your "B" shift solenoid

The "cam crank" sensor is the "reader" for position and speed of the camshaft. This sensor send informations to Engine Control Unit about camshaft position and speed. If the sensor is faulty engine stops!

This is most likely one of your cam shaft sensors. The reason your transmission goes to 5th gear and stays there is because the car automatically goes into "safe mode". This prevents you from running the car on high RPM's which decreases the chance of causing more damage to the engine.
Depending on the code you get from the check engine light, it will be one of the cam-shaft sensors or the crank shaft sensor. A code reader will answer that question.
Often the sensor just fails or oil gets into the connectors which prevents proper reading. This sometimes goes away temporarily when engine is hot but problem will return.
To replace the cam shaft sensors you are looking at approximately 30 min of work. Its a tight fit but not a difficult job.
Cam shaft sensors are about $80. Not sure how much crank haft sensor is.
Hope this helps, and good luck.

you have to change the solenoid control if your car is 3.5 engine the solenoid control located at inside the transmission..

I had a camshaft sensor replace in my 2004 suzuki forenza and now i have a leak now so tell me what they do wrong
