On the 2.3L, the camshaft position sensor (CMP) is mounted on the oil pump behind the inner timing belt cover. Held on with two bolts. The electrical connector comes off of it at a 90 degree angle which gives kinda gives an "L" shape to it.

Did you actually take the timing belt off?

No I did not, I needed the tool that you have to use to take the tenson off the pulley.
