SOURCE: Cam Shaft Sensor Problems

Had the same problem before on my 04 Neon SXT...camshaft sensor is on left side of engine block, take out the battery and to the left of it (face car) is the camshaft position sensor. To change it you'll have to move a few hoses but its plan to see there on the left side of the engine...pretty easy remove and replace. Fixed my problem of car not going above 2k RPM when i replaced the sensor.

SOURCE: knock sensor dont work for 2005 dodge durango

this problem is very seldom the knock sensor, it can be the harness connector at the sensor or the engine has excessive knock which will set a code, u did not mention the particular code so hard to say, the location of the knock sensor is the lower section of the engine block, it is screwed into what would normally be a block drain plug, if u replace it u need to torque it to whatever the factory spec is or it can cause it throw another code..

SOURCE: location of oxygen sensors on 2002 dodge grand

The o2 sensors are located on the exhaust system.The upstream in on the rear exhaust manifold and the down stream is in front of the catalytic converter.Usually when they are bad they will make the check engine like go on.Make sure the air filter is clean,tires at correct inflation,alignment is to specs.If the vehicles pulls to one side or the other or steering wheel is not straight when driving down a straight stretch of road.Also tires are wearing normal.Use cruise control where ever on highway.If you let your vehicle warm up in winter.This also uses gas.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Remove the spark knock sencer on a 1997 dodge caravan

It depends on which engine your Caravan is equipped with. The knock sensor on the 2.4L engine is on the forward side of the engine just below the intake manifold. On the 3.3L and 3.8L engines it is on the forward side of the engine right next to the oil filter. All engines: Disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the sensor from the engine block. Reverse procedure to install.

It should be noted that knock sensor failures are very rare on these vehicles. Most knock sensor fault codes for these engines are usually caused by mechanical problems that are creating "rattling" or "knocking" noises in the engine compartment. Things like bad pulley bearings, worn water pumps or loose timing components are most likely at fault. The knock sensor does not know the difference between vibrations caused by these type of failures and those that are caused by ignition ping. The fault code usually sets when the noise or "knock" is still present when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has retarded ignition timing as far as possible. If any knocking or rattling noises are present in the engine area, this should be diagnosed and repaired before replacing the sensor. (Otherwise you will only be wasting your money.)
