I wonder if someone could help with a question that seems that I cannot find anywhere on the internet but I think this may be the site to go to. Anyway, I have a 97-960 that I took to the mechanic since my "check engine light" was staying on and he read that the "Camshaft Position Sensor" was the culprit. I was wanting to order the part and replace myself by I cannot find where the bugger is on the engine. The symptoms that I have is that from time to time during acceleration, I get a sudden "jump/hesitation/misfire" for just a moment of time and it then goes back to normal. I may go several days without this happening. Also, I see two different styles that the parts folks display on their website. I really do not want to order until I see the existing part on the vehicle but cannot find the location...HELP, please. Thanks.

 

It is located in the same vicinity as it is on the 4 cylinder B230.Take a flashlight and peek between the firewall and rear of engine. Look where the transmission joins the engine on top of the bellhousing. Should be part #3547699 from Volvo.
