Default Camshaft Positioning Sensor location

Hi there. I'm new here so bare with me.
I have a question.
Where can I locate the Camshaft Positioning Sensor on a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica 6 cylinder. Is if near the alternator or on the right side of the engine?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-J

Default Still the same issues...

Changed the cam AND the crankshaft position sensors,still cranks over slow.
It runs as it did before the cranking problem so I'm at a loss...suggestions?

Hope you saved the old sensors and or used OEM replacements. We have learned over the years that Aftermarket ones do not last. (Cheap magnets loose their magnetism)
Sensors have nothing to do with slow cranking speed. Battery, Cable Connections, grounds are the usual suspects. Starter or binding engine internals remotely suspect but test everything else first.
If its cranking good but slow starting,
fuel pressure testing would be the place to start
