If it's an ecotec then it's behind the cambelt cover, inbetween the cams, if it's the 8v engines the it's on the dizzy

When you take the two screws out of the sensor, or putting them back in, make sure you don't drop one into the lower belt cover like i did!
Cover up the hole with a bit of tape/metal/paper!
Had to change the cam belt to get it out!
Sensor cost bout £50 new or £15 from a Scrappy.

turns out wen the cam belt was changed the wire that leads to the camshaft sensor was routed thru the wrong way rite next to the cambelt pulley
so turned out it shredded the wire!
so i jus put in a new bit of wire and duck taped it nicely, good as new and problem solved 
cheers for the help though guys
however i hav a new problem 
lower down the cambelt plastic cover it seems to be knocking somewere??
i managed to make it pretty quite by keeping the screws loose and the cover slightly of??
