2000 dodge dakota 4.7 camshaft position sensor location

If you have no fuel or spark then you most likely have a crank sensor issue.

Here is a guide that will help this:

The crank sensor is used for spark and injector pulsing and the cam sensor is used to help time those pulses so if you are not getting them then it is likely the crank sensor.

When you crank the engine does the tach go up slightly?

If it were me, I would replace the crank sensor with a Mopar sensor and retest. Off brand sensors by have an issue out of the box giving you the thought that it is not the CKP sensor.

I attached the info below on these sensors.

Please run through this info and let us know if you have questions. Thanks

Where are the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor located on my 1995 Dodge Dakota Automatic 6 cylinder?

Crank sensor is in the transmission bell housing right behind the right cylinder head. Cam sensor is in the distributor.

Cam sensor assuming its a 4.7 is on the passenger side of the engine, towards the front and top of the cylinder head. Crank sensor is also on the passenger side of the engine located just under the exaust manifold closest to the rear of the engine, just under a freeze plug.

Trying to replace a cam shaft position sensor on my 2001 dodge durango. Can't find where it's at. Every place I see on Google says inside the distributor, but this engine doesn't have one. Any help would be great!
Thanks!

If you do not have a distributor, you have the 4.7 engine. (The 5.9 does have one.)

On the 4.7 engine, The Camshaft position sensor is on the underside of the right side head, near the front of the engine.
Look under the right front wheel arch to see the wire harness. You might be able to reach down beside the oil filler neck, I forget.

You can (unless you've got huge arms and wrists). I found it easier to remove the sensor bolt from above, but remove and replace the sensor itself from the ground, laying on my back.

YMMV.

So is it on the same side as the crank sensor?

Yes, but at the front of the engine.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft sensor?

A glowing check engine light, stalling, poor acceleration and bad fuel mileage are all possible signs your camshaft position sensor may be failing. Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car's computer get the maximum performance out of the engine.
