Cam Position Sensor location
2009 Silver CobaltSS- Sedan, 60K miles
So I have an intermittent P0011 code. Usually blows under WOT. The car is not acting up other than blowing the code. I checked my cam position actuators and their resistance is around 11 ohms- so I think they are OK. Although my car does have 60K miles on it and I I have replacements coming as preventative maintenance. I use redline oil at the computer specified intervals.
I am trying to find the cam position sensor locations. Especially the intake. I cannot find them front the top of the motor. I would think they would be off the right or left side of the head/valve cover- but unless they are under the timing cover- I am missing them. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Be specific, as I can be a little slow sometimes. :-)
TIA

Thank you. Mine is hiding under some oil and dirt. Damn leaky valve cover.
I assume the one to the left, (closer to the front of the car), is the intake sensor...

I am going to test your theories by only swapping out the actuators 1st. After all, they are real easy to replace. I will drive the car around next week and see if it codes again before thinking about doing the sensor. I am out of town the rest of this week- so I'll update when I get back.

My cam actuators were causing stubbling issues with no codes. 120k miles When I pulled them out the screens on them were very dirty. Was pretty obvious they weren't functioning correctly.

I've run a tank of gas thru the car after changing just the actuators. No codes. I'll take that as a win. So even though the actuators ohmed out OK, they can still be the problem.
