are you looking for the sensor that has 2 6mm bolts hoding it into what looks like a hacked up distributor? they should be readily available anywhere. thats a common fail part on those.

double check your build date, it may be a 95, and if so you will show the cam sensro for most aftermarket parts, just as a reference check these links out.


you have a crank sensor as seen herefor the 94's- While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

and the cam sensor as seen here on the 95 up's- While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com
