Welcome to the site..

The CMP (cam position sensor) sits on top of the cam synchronizer assy. The cam synchronizer looks like a short distributor on the front/top of the engine block and the CMP attaches to the top, 2 screws..

The Turbine Shaft Speed sensor is mounted on the top of the transmission case, and the Output Shaft Speed is towards the end of the case...

Thanks, I found the cps but have yet to find the input shaft speed sensor but I will. I hope it fixes it as it will not reverse and only goes forward in 2nd or 3rd gear (2500 rpm's before it moves). I've never come across this in any other vehicle, When I first start it for around 45 seconds every thing works perfect and then it spits and sputters and the tranny acts up, I am only going to change the cps and try it hoping it will fix the tranny code. Thanks for the help and I will post back Monday night with my results but don't let that stop other people from giving their feedback. This is not my truck, I'm trying to fix it for a friend (I drive a bailout truck).

Well I got every thing changed and it fixed nothing. It takes about 45 sec to go into reverse and stumbles in drive. If I get it to move it will more than likely stall but not always, and all this with no engine light. In neutral it idles around 2200 rpms and park it either idles fine, stalls, or bounces between 200 and 1000 rpms. Does anybody have any ideas?
