Hi I know this is an old thread, but can you tell me how you replaced the cam sensor WITHOUT removing the intake manifold? I took the cabin air filter housing off and for the life of me can't even see the the sensor.

Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I just ordered part #12147539171 (CPS on Intake Side, part#16). Just briefly looking under the intake piping, I think I was able to see it. Not sure if it was it or not.

Were you able to install your sensor successfully? Have any tips?

Thanks,
