There should be 3 sensors close to each other at the back of the intake..the map, cam, and oil pressure sensor. Are you missing a connector?

The cam sensor is in the back off the block of course but it is the one that is bolted down to the engine block in the center rear.

Im not seeing the other connector, a good picture would be helpful.

right now I see the oil sender and right next to that the Map sensor, but have not found the cam sensor connector on the motor, and of course now its in my rig, and its hard to see. I hope Im just overlooking it and I find it during my next visit, if anyone has a picture that would rule.

Ok, in the pics you have in the other link.. All I see is the map sensor and cam position sensor. I see an empty hole on the driver side where a fitting and oil pressure sensor should be at.
