Mark,
I had the same problem last year. Both sensors went out (sometimes called Cam Position sensors). I'll leave it to Lez or someone with a parts manual to post a picture of the location (I had my mechanic repair it). Apparently, when the sensor goes out and shuts down one bank including the injectors, the back pressure in the fuel lines can blow out the fuel pumps. I would seriously suggest replacing the other fuel pump (usually it's the best idea with the 850's that when one of two items goes out, replace them both).
