OR.....
Camshaft Sensor CSS1641 at Advance Auto Parts and it looks exactly the same but is about a $100 more

CODES:
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
P0342 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Low Input
P0343 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit High Input
P0344 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent
Now I am a bit confused. The link to the "camshaft position sensor" is great with a really good write up - but when you go to it the caption at the top of the page says "crankshaft position sensor".
So my question is, the sensor at the back of the left head is for the cam? My engine code was crankshaft sensor, which I thought was at the front of the motor? What am I missing here?
My guess is with the location on the head, this thing is the for the camshaft, and that the text was just mislabeled. Am I right? If so, is there another writeup for the crankshaft position sensor?
