  Q: How to service the camshaft position sensor on Chevrolet K3500?

  A: The service process for the camshaft position (CMP) sensor begins with negative Battery Cable removal and then Ignition Coil extraction. Begin the procedure by unwiring the Spark Plug Wires that are located on one side of the Distributor Cap and place these wires to the side. Begin by disconnecting the electrical connector of the camshaft sensor and afterward remove all Distributor Cap screws and the cap itself. The two rotor screws must be removed before you can detach the rotor. The square-cut hole in the rotor vane should be placed directly over the cmp sensor during this process. Unscrew the two screws that attach the cmp sensor to the distributor and proceed to remove the sensor from its place. New Distributor Cap screws and cmp sensor screws along with rotor screws can be bought separately as p/n 10475922 and p/n 10475924 in packages containing 10 screws each. The cmp sensor should be placed within the distributor where new installed screws using a thread locking compound should be tightened to 2.2 n.m (19 lb in). The rotor needs new screws which should be tightened to 1.9 n.m (18 lb in) after installation. Install the Distributor Cap by using new screws which you should tighten to 2.4 n.m (22 lb in). Complete the installation by reconnecting the cmp sensor electrical connector then reinstalling Spark Plug Wires to the Distributor Cap as well as installing the Ignition Coil before reconnecting the negative cable.
