How to tell if 1999 GST has a Cam Angle Sensor

[IceSouLatioN]

Ok, so I've read all the threads relating to Cam Angle Sensor (CAS) and still was unable to determine an answer, hence I'm turning to the community for help.

I have a 1999 Eclipse GST with a 46G3 engine.
VIN: 4A3AX55FXXE062252

The engine blew last year and I'm in the process of purchasing a used one. The seller asked me if my engine had a "Cam Angle Sensor" on it, and I didn't know where to look, or if there was another way to tell.

Can someone please advise how to determine if my engine has this, or where to look? We are awaiting completion of the transaction until we can determine this information. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Russ

If it's the original engine it does. It bolts onto the rear passenger corner of the head at the end of where the cam is. Hopefully someone will post a pic.

Yeah if it is the original engine or any 97-99 engine it is on the passenger side of the head. It has 3 10mm bolts in a triangle pattern on the side of it and a plug on the back. If it is a 95-96 engine it is under the intake cam pulley. You can tell once you pull the timing cover off that the gear will look different than the exhaust side. A 6 bolt has the cas where the 97-99 one is, but is not tapped into the cam and you can mess with timing with it. It does look different than the 2gb one. A quicksearch will show you pictures. Good luck
