:talon:please help i have a 1995 talon tsi that had the motor out i need to know where the camshaft sensor connects to. pics would be helpful also thanks
 
:talon:the haynes doesn't show a picture just says to reconnect the sensor. LOL it sucks. so any help on the camshaft sensor connection please help. i hope buck sees this he always has a good tip.
 
its the last plug on the wiring harness and its a grey square.


its wrapped together with 2 triangular plus, short one is the crank angle sensor and the long one goes down to the A/C compressor.
 
:talon:yes i know where it is i have it installed and the timing covers on but need to know where it's other connection end is at... I know what the sensor looks like and what it is just need to know where it connects. i bought this car with the motor out and some things unassembled.
 
:talon:i don't think i'm making this clear enough i have a connection end like a female end i need the male end that is somewhere in the motor compartment. i have a brand new sensor that has the one connector and some wire hanging out of the timing belt cover i just need to know where the other connector to complete this connection is. i don't know how to load pictures onto this stupid thing otherwise i would do it. i have successfully done one picture and not any others. if you could help me with that maybe i could show a picture as to what i have. i have a black connector end that is kinda trangular shaped and need to know where it's mate is. thanks for your help all.
 
:talon:the final picture is some sort of bracket that was on the old connector. i have no idea where this goes. i also don't know where else this connects.
on the middle picture it is the connector that doesn't have the cover on it.
i'm thinking i have the crankshaft sensor where it connects right below the intake manifold.

Sounds like siceclipse in post 6 knows where it connects.
Anyway the Cam Angle Sensor (CAS) has a 3pin rectangular plug and Crank Position Sensor (CPS) has a 3pin triangle plug.
I know where the bracket in your 3rd picture goes! :D It mounts on the top right side of the timing belt cover bolts - see the attached pics I just took for you from my 99 which show it. It holds the CPS connector in place on my 99 and looks like it may also hold your CAS connector in place on your 95. Don't know if your 95 CPS connector is held in place on it or not but it probably is since it has 2 tangs on it for mounting things on (my 99 only has 1 tang since my CAS is mounted elsewhere).

Follow the injector harness to the right and you SHOULD come to the last 3 plugs
