Cam Position Sensor?

I'm throwing codes for cam sensor-low voltage. I've searched but cannot find an exact location. I've searched and read somewhere at back of intake? I pulled the A.I.R tube out yesterday and wondering if I damaged it. it's a 2004 LS6. Cam bolts have been loc-tite'd

I can feel a sensor that feels like it might be broken, not sure if that's it or not. Anybody got a pic?

Thanks, that's a big help. Does the intake have to be removed to swap out?

Guys, thanks for the help. I unplugged the connector and found a broken wire. Gonna fix it tomorrow and get it going. Could'nt have figured it out without you. All these because I just HAD to remove the air pump.

I'm throwing the same code after my mechanic replaced mine. Could it just be a faulty sensor? My car sometimes won't turn on, and I'm guessing a bad wire. Also while he has the intake manifold off...again, does anyone have a picture of where the oil pressure sensor is in comparison to the cam position sensor? Thanks!

Whats the differents between the low and high voltage cam position sensor code? About how long do you think it would take to get the intake off to get to the sensor?

I just installed an LS6 intake on my 98 and i can definitely feel a difference over the LS1 style!

This issue should be a crank shaft postion sensor, rather than a cam shaft postion sensor. Its a very common issue, as I sell them to people at work with this problem all the time, and it usually fixes the problem. That is if you are still getting plenty of fuel pressure, air, and spark. I'm not positive of the location on the LS1.
Hope this helps -David
