Where does this connector come from and go to? I hope it has something to do with my awful running 3.4 I've swapped in.


Second pic is my motor. First pic is a stock photo of the wire I'm missing.

 

TPS, I think, but don't quote me. I do know they don't run too well if at all with that uplugged. Wiring harness on top and in front of the engine, just behind where the plug wires can be seen.

 

My TPS is plugged in. It's at the top of the motor, on the throttle body.

 

Ah...I couldn't remember what the thing is called that that plugs into. That makes sense it's not the tps given where it goes. Should've thought harder on that. Crank sensor? I am sorry I can't remember. I am sure about the rest of it. Can take pic if you want.

 

Yes a picture of where it routes to/from would be cool.

 

Ok, give me some minutes...

 

Camshaft position sensor

 

Thanks Goat. An unplugged camshaft sensor will surely cause my horrible running! Now the problem is that I can't find any wires that aren't hooked up. Hopefully a pic will help.

 

The wires should come from near the top of the timing cover on that same side.

 

Thanks Mr. Goat! Gonna remember that someday...
Follow the pink wire...pics from the plug to where it goes in the harness. The other part you can see on your engine pic, behind the timing cover.

 

OK, I have the top part the goes to the top of the timing cover. I'm missing the bottom wires. The male connector.

Edit: First picture wasn't my motor. The connector shown on that picture is the one I'm missing. I'm going to post a pic of what I have.

 

What I've got.

 

You might need to buy a whole new cam position sensor since the connector comes on that.

 

Oh dern. This motor came straight out of a '98 and into my '95. I haven't taken it apart whatsoever. I can't imagine why the camshaft position sensor would be missing.

 

Or you might find a used one in a bone yard...maybe someone found your's and bought it LOL.

 

The Camshaft Position Sensor Assy P/N 19300-62010 is about $106 + shipping from the online Toyota sources and just the sensor is $88+ 90919-05021 (sensor without the mount, it appears):

thanks dudes.

 

Just look behind cover. See if the sensor is there.

 

what enapa said...

 

I will I will! In the morn. I'm positive it's there. I'm also positive that I've managed to yank the wires out by accident during the swap. Hopefully they can be repaired. I'll update in the AM
