Welcome, 3.9L engine, should be in the distributor. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Image (Click to enlarge) SPONSORED LINKS Saturday, October 10th, 2009 AT 10:08 AM TIFFLOVESJEFF
Where are the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor located on my 1995 Dodge Dakota Automatic 6 cylinder? Monday, March 4th, 2019 AT 11:26 AM (Merged) Crank sensor is in the transmission bell housing right behind the right cylinder head. Cam sensor is in the distributor.

Engine Performance problem Where are these located at? Monday, March 4th, 2019 AT 11:26 AM (Merged) 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.

This bad boy is located in the distributor and testing it is not hard since it can be tested with a simple multimeter. With the help of this turorial you'll be able to easily find out if it's defective or not. NOTE: The camshaft position sensor is also known as the distributor pickup coil. APPLIES TO: This tutorial applies to the following vehicles since they use the exact same camshaft position (CMP) sensor:
IGNITION COIL TEST: The following tutorial will help you test the ignition coil: Testing The Ignition System (1998-2003 3.9L Dodge Dakota). WIRING DIAGRAM: You can find the ignition system wiring diagrams here:
Symptoms Of A Bad Camshaft Position (CMP) SensorThe fuel injection computer uses the camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal in combination with the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal to start injecting fuel and to start activating the ignition coil (among several things). Since the 1998-2003 3.9L Dodge Dakota (and 1998-1999 3.9L Dodge Durango) are equipped with OBD II, when the camshaft position sensor fails, the fuel injection computer will usually (but not always) set a diagnostic trouble code. You may see the following trouble code stored in the fuel injection computer's memory:
If you have a code reader or a scan tool, check for codes. To test the actual camshaft position sensor, a scan tool is not required. What I can assure you is that when the camshaft position sensor fails, then engine in your Dodge Dakota (or Durango) is not gonna' start due to a lack of spark and a lack of fuel injection. Circuit Descriptions Of The Camshaft Position SensorThe camshaft position sensor has 3 wires coming out of its electrical connector. One wire supplies power. One wire supplies Ground. And the other wire carries the CMP signal to the fuel injection computer. In the tables below you'll find a short description of each of the 3 wires:
The following ignition system wiring diagrams will further help you identify the camshaft position sensor circuits:
Checkout the following links and comparison shop the camshaft position sensor for your 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 3.9L Dodge Dakota and 1998, 1999 3.9L Dodge Durango: TEST 1: Testing The Camshaft Position SignalTo start off our camshaft position (CMP) sensor diagnostic, we're gonna' verify that the CMP sensor is creating an ON/OFF voltage signal as we crank the engine. ON is when the CMP signal reads 5 Volts DC and OFF is when it reads 0 Volts DC (on the multimeter). If the camshaft position sensor is working correctly, you're gonna' see the multimeter switching between 5 Volt and 0 Volts as you crank the engine. If the camshaft position sensor is bad, it's gonna' stay stuck producing a single voltage value (usually 0 Volts) as you crank the engine. We'll accomplish this by connecting our multimeter to the tan with yellow stripe (TAN/YEL) wire of the CMP sensor's engine wiring harness connector. In the photo above, the TAN/YEL wire is identified with the number 3. Before we start let me tell you that your 3.9L Dodge Dakota comes equipped with a camshaft position sensor and a crankshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is located in the distributor and the crankshaft position sensor is bolted onto the transmission bell housing. Both of the connectors are in the same location so take care to test the correct connector. IMPORTANT: The camshaft position sensor must be connected to its engine harness connector for this test to work. You'll need to connect your multimeter test lead to a back probe or a wire piercing probe to read the CMP signal. You can see an example of a wire piercing probe here: Wire Piercing Probe Review (Power Probe PWPPPPP01). NOTE: Don't have a multimeter or need to upgrade yours? Check out my recommendation: Buying A Digital Multimeter For Automotive Diagnostic Testing. These are the test steps:
Let's examine your CMP signal test result: CASE 1: The multimeter read the indicated ON/OFF DC voltage. This is the correct and expected test result and tells you that the camshaft position sensor is functioning correctly. Since the camshaft position sensor IS NOT defective, something else is causing your 3.9L V6 Dakota to not start. CASE 2: The multimeter DID NOT read the indicated ON/OFF DC voltage. This test result usually means that the camshaft position sensor is defective. Before you replace it, make sure it's getting power and Ground. For the next test go to: TEST 2: Making Sure The CMP Sensor Has Power. Where is my camshaft position sensor located?The Camshaft Position sensor is typically located in the cylinder head of the engine and has a cylindrical portion that inserts into the head. The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block.
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.
