I need to know where my Camshaft centering sensor is located on my pickup, and how to replace it, can you help? It turns but does not start.

Asked by DonSnow2 Jun 02, 2015 at 01:24 PM about the 1996 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Cheyenne Extended Cab LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've tried New fuel filter and new plugs but it still is not starting so I'm thinking the source of the problem is the Camshaft Centering Sensor, but I don't know where to find it on my truck, or how to test whether or not it works or how to replace it. And information would be helpful.
Thank You
p.s. the picture provided is about the look of my pickup, but is not mine

It's also called a pickup coil. It's in the distributor

I need help bad. My truck us a Chevy 1500 1995 and if I drive about 30 miles or so and hit a red light and go to hit the gas. I'll have the peddle to the floor and it will start off slow then out of no where kick in and speed up. And if I'm going down the high way and the cruise control is on and I'm going up a hill it will do that. Throttle slow then kick in and speed up. Also when I go to slow down pulling in some where the truck sounds like its about to shut off then comes back to normal. What wrong with it? 11 Answers

Ppl say it is my throttle body or my filter on my fuel pump or its I have no back pressure and my o2 senser is messed up since its straight pipe no cat converter. What is it.
