first of all, on the obd 1 system, once the code is fixed, the light goes out right away. there is a magnet behind the cam sensor that may be an issue. a scope will tell if the sensor is working correctly. take it to a pro and get it checked accurately. Roy

Remove the power steering by taking out the three bolts, through the holes in the pully! One at a time because only one at a time will line up with the hole! It will come out, be patient and wiggle! The sensor is located just benith the pump! I believe it is one 8mm bolt! Just pull up on the wire, if it resists you, pry it out with a flat head screwdriver! Then replace and reassemble!! PS. I'm a PRO!! Got over 10 years experience and a degree! A scope is not needed to check these sensors! Just a "good" multimeter! Much cheeper and more versatile! And u can test every thing!!
