The camshaft position sensor in the 2011 Ford F-150 5.0 is situated on the front left and right cylinder heads. If this sensor malfunctions, your truck may not experience immediate failure. You can continue to drive without it, but your vehicle's performance will gradually diminish. As the camshaft position sensor deteriorates, its ability to swiftly transmit data weakens. Even a slight discrepancy in fuel delivery and ignition timing can lead to issues such as sputtering, poor acceleration, power loss, stalling, or shutdown. Signs that indicate a need for replacement include rough idling, stalling, decreased power, and sluggish acceleration in your vehicle.

    It varies depending on whether you have the coyote engine or not. If you do have it, the location is at the back of the head and it can be quite a headache.
