Hi all. New member here. Not much off a mechanic. Working on my Cherokee here on the small island of Bequia in the Caribbean where cars are old, parts hard to come by but mechanics very resourceful. I am trying to buy a camshaft sensor for my 1992 Cherokee 2 wheel drive 4l 6 cylinder engine. My mechanic tells me this is what I need. I cannot seem to find one online at all. Mechanic tells me he may be able to source a used one locally. He says the one he will source is part of the distributor assembly. He cannot just get the sensor locally without buying the distributor. I did find a distributor on Amazon that should fit the Cherokee at a reasonable price. I was hoping the cam shaft sensor is included in the distributor from Amazon. Is any one able to tell me if I buy the new distributor might come with the cam shaft sensor

 

If you have access to ebay...95% of used distributors come with the camshaft sensor installed in the distributor. Several years ago i purchased a distributor with sensor for 3 bucks plus shipping. I will check my garage parts for a sensor...might take a few days to get in there. The connector hanging off in your link is the cam sensor

 

Thanks for your help blue jeep! Great news for me that that connector hanging is the cam sensor. Now I at least know I can get one. I was beginning to loose hope. Funny I was chatting with an online parts store asking the same question and they told me the sensor was not included yet there is is dangling off the new distributor they had for sale.

 

Done! Replaced distributor with cam shaft sensor and Cherokee now starts and purrs like a kitten.

 

good deal
