It's really easy. You just need to have a small (1/4" drive) ratchet with extensions and a 5.5 mm six point socket (try Sears they carry it), also a magnetic tip part retrieval wand for dropped screws. The cam sensor is located on top of the engine front cover, between the water pump and the supercharger. It's the round black plastic puck that says "Caution-Not Adjustable" on it being held on by two 5.5 mm screws where a distributor
would be on an older car. There's a wire connector similar to the mass air's connector plugged into it. It's easier to unplug some of the ignition harness wiring and move it aside, just make sure to push the locking clips down first then pull off the plugs. Upon reconnect make sure all are locked in tight and their little orange gaskets are not being jammed or they will work loose and cause a hard to find stalling problem. Once the cam sensor is fully accessible spray the area with brake cleaner to remove loose dirt so it doesn't fall into the open hole of the synchronizer when removing the old sensor. Then remove the two screws and it lifts right off, put the new one (it only aligns in one position, should be idiot proof) then replace the screws, just tight, as they are small. Reconnect all the wiring checking that it is clear of the belts.
That's it, now it should start right up and run better. By the way the tachometer signal comes directly from the cam sensor so that should clear up as well.
