• Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right) Intake on 2005 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The replacement process for the Bank 1 (Right) Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor begins with fuel injector sight shield removal and subsequent detachment of electrical components from the right bank intake camshaft position sensor . The replacement requires marking each connector since they are physically compatible for re-installation. The next step requires the removal of the camshaft sensor retaining bolt before extracting the right bank intake camshaft sensor. Before sensor installation apply engine oil to the O-ring and check the camshaft sensor for damage as well as wear before removing it for replacement. Screw in the right bank intake camshaft position sensor along with its retaining bolt while torquing it to 10 N.m (89 lb in). Connect the electrical cord of the camshaft sensor before reinstalling the fuel injector sight shield. Test the engine while checking if any oil is leaking from the camshaft sensor.
