Step 5
Locate the Cam Sensor in the front of the engine with a single 5mm Hex Bolt in it, remove the bolt.
Next remove the Bolt holding in the sensor loom with a 10mm socket. Keep the green O-ring.
Also the loom is clipped in on the corner; you need to squeeze the pins to release it. [I broke mine]

Step 6
Look in the spot where the upper intake was, you'll see a black box with 2 connectors in it.
The one closest to the front of the engine is the cam sensor pigtail.

Step 7
Push in the Metal clip on the side of the pigtail and pry on the connector with a flat head screw driver to remove it.
Side Info
It may be easier to use a wire and tie it to the cam wire to snake it back under the intake plenum. Try to feed the
connector back under the intake and grab it through the hole in the middle to pull it up to the connector.
Always remember to push in the metal clip before re-plugging in sensors.
Put the Loom back onto the cam sensor wire.
Plug the connector in, bolt the loom back onto the engine and install the new sensor.
Installing the sensor may be tricky; I twisted mine as i pushed it into the hole to make the O-Ring seat properly, it will pop into place if you do it correctly.
Reinstall the bolt and hand tighten it.
