If that is the camshaft position sensor, the connector, wire and sensor are one piece and separate from the harness. Not cheap though, $150 at Fastlane.

Glen,

the sensor plug and wiring to into the harness but I haven't tried to separate it yet. Got a link to that part?

Thanks,

Felix

yep, wrong part. The cam plug is part of the harness.

I spliced one in from a wrecked CE but still haven't solved my starting problem...
