• Q: How to replace the left bank intake camshaft position sensor on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The first step for replacing the left bank intake camshaft position sensor is removal of the engine sight shield. The process of sensor removal requires connector labeling to prevent mistakes since electrical connectors match but need to be connected to specific sensors. The left bank intake camshaft position sensor can be removed after disconnecting the electrical connector and removing the retaining bolt and the sensor. Check the O-ring condition right before mounting. Replace it if there is any wear or destruction. Follow engine oil lubrication of the O-ring before inserting the left bank intake camshaft position sensor with its mounting bolt which should get torqued to 10 Nm (89 lb in). You should connect the electrical connector after testing the engine operation while performing a sensor leak inspection. End the process by reinstalling the engine sight shield.
