The sensors on on the intake cams on the driven end, so for 1-3 on the side (drivers) they are toward the front of the engine on the top of the head, and on the 4-6 side on the rear of the engine, again on the top of the head. Pretty hard to get at the 1-3, a little easier for the 4-6 if you remove some misc. stuff (airbox, etc.). Here are some pics that might help you, sorry they are not better.

Depends on the year of your car, Dharn55 is correct for a 3.4 motor, with the switch to vane adjustment on the 3.6-on motors, they are on the opposite ends.

Hi would faulty camshaft sensors relate to emissions problems (runs good at tickover when cold but when its warmed up it starts running badly.
