I have a 1995 Ford Ranger 4.0L. The PCM set a P0340, or Camshaft
Positon Sensor Malfunction. My engine is not equipped with a Camshaft
Position Sensor, and the vehicle runs fine with the code set. Any idea
what the deal is? |

Are you sure? I believe it is on the top rear of the engine on the oil pump
drive.
Same place a distributor would be on an older engine.

must have missed it. In the US atleast, the vin X 4.0 of that era has
a distributor-style CMP assembly that is fixed to the intake with a
holddown clamp. It is in the back as the other poster mentioned,
hidden by the upper intake plenum. There is a three wire connector on
the top.
There are very specific steps to installing one correctly, so read the
Ford factory manual before replacing this part. The part rotates like
a distributor, but unfortunately you can't time it with a timing light.
You have to set it so that it is 'electrically in sync' with the crank
position sensor (which you will approximate by using the marks on the
harmonic balancer).
You may be able to buy the sensor portion of the assembly by itself,
but there is a chance that the drive housing has a broken piece inside
that will require complete assembly replacement.

What about this link that says my engine doesn't have one?
