Hello everybody. I have become a member because I have become the owner of a 2006 Kia Picanto S. It only has 36000 miles on the clock so I really want to try and care for it. Trouble is the engine management light is on. My brother in law checked and told me it was a P0340 code, the camshaft sensor. I want to try and do my own work, but for starters I do not know where it is positioned so I might replace it. Can anyone tell me where the camshaft sensor is? Or should I buy a Haynes manual? I am worried I am doing serious damage whilst driving the car with that light on. I hope someone will have some wise words for me. Thanks, diswinn46

What engine is in your car..? and what year is it..in the meanwhile this might help..

Where is the camshaft sensor located?

Hi folks I'm new here, can anyone tell me where the camshaft sensor is located in a 2006 Picanto 1.1 LX? My warning light came on and have had a diagnosis done that indicates this sensor needs to be replace... also getting random cylinder misfires which are probably connected. Thanks.

Thank you phil in wales. Wonderful that someone has replied, just great. My engine is a 998 I think, so 1000 really. Tonight i have been on line trying to find a manual for my picanto, but not sure of downloads. I don't want to lose the few pounds I have. Anyway, thanks phil. I don't want to keep asking my clever brother in law for help.
