Default Location of Cam Position Sensor

Im getting codes 0340&0344 on my 3.7L @ 50K miles

Where might i find the cam position sensor?
I assumed it would be somewhere around the cam/timingbelt. but cant find it.

could someone post a pic of the location?
or a link to a parts diagram?

Both the new 3.7 & 4.7 have coil-on-plug meaning there is No distributor.

sorry, i was thinking of a different truck. i looked at my 4-7 and found it. it was located between the a/c compressor and the alternator mounted to the intake. as soon as you open the hood it should be there. has two small screws and a quick plug connect. if it is not there on the 3.7 than auto zone has the correct diagram. part should be no more than 40.00

thanks for the advice, i found it on the 3.7 its on the passenger side below where you fill the oil, just below/under the valve cover. Can not be seen from the top, but is easily accessed from underneath turning the wheel to the right and looking in the wheel well opening.

25buck mopar part, 35bucks at autozone. cheap easy DIY fix ,all u need is a 10milli socket!
