Hello , I have a 1997 GMC yukon four wheel drive, 5.7 L. engine, automatic trans. Engine light turned on so I went to autozone for an analysis which came up as being the crank or cam censor, so I bought them both. I know where the crank sensor is but I don't know where the cam censor is. Can someone please explain to me where the cam censor is and is it something that I can get to without getting into any trouble. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to do it.

Thanks for your help----Zeke
