Intake and Exhaust Camshaft Position Sensors Ford Fiesta 1.6L 2008-2019 Location Replacement

Are you trying to find or replace the intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors (CMP) on your Ford Fiesta 1.6L but feeling confused by which sensor is which under the hood? You’ve come to the right place!

In this video, I will show you the exact, precise location of both the intake and exhaust camshaft sensors on the 1.6L engine so you can see exactly where they are hidden and get straight to work. On Ford’s 1.6L Ti-VCT (variable camshaft timing) engine, these twin sensors are mounted close together in a tight spot that can easily be confused with other nearby electrical components or solenoid valves. Watching this quick, direct guide will save your time, eliminate the guesswork, and prevent you from replacing the wrong sensor by mistake.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Bad Camshaft Position Sensors:

The camshaft sensors monitor the precise rotation of the intake and exhaust cams so the computer can manage fuel injection and valve timing. When one or both of these sensors begin to fail on your Ford Fiesta, it will trigger these clear warning signs:

• Engine Misfires & Jerking: The car shakes, jerks, or misfires under acceleration because the fuel timing is completely out of sync with the valves.
• Hard Starting or Long Cranking: The engine turns over for a long time before firing up, or refuses to start at all because the computer is missing the critical timing signal.
• Sudden Stalling or Loss of Power: The engine suddenly dies while idling at a stoplight or completely loses its pulling power while driving down the highway.
• Limp Mode & Rough Idle: The car drops into a low-power “limp home” mode, accompanied by a very rough, shaking idle that feels highly unstable.
• Check Engine Light (CEL): Frequently triggering specific diagnostic trouble codes such as P0340, P0341 (Intake), or P0365, P0366 (Exhaust).

If your Fiesta is stalling out or throwing frustrating camshaft timing codes, locating and replacing these sensors is your very first step. Watch the video to see the exact layout, how to tell the intake and exhaust sensors apart, and how to swap them out quickly and safely!
