DJSOKO · 01-21-2008, 04:33 PM

I just purchased a 96 318ti for my son, "great dad eh!" This is my 5th BMW, and by far the coolest! I had a 635ic which was fast, and expensive, and sucked gas!

Well, after my son drove it 130 miles the check engine light came on and it was the Camshaft Postion Sensor. I see where it connects in front and when I follow the wire back, I can't seem to get to where it plugs in.

Can anyone tell me what needs to be removed to get to the other end of the sensor wire under the intake?

Thanks!
