Cam Position Sensor Harness Help
Cam Position Sensor Harness Help
Hi all,
Back in 2004, I broke the Cam Position Sensor on my 03 Evo. I bought a new sensor, but the wiring harness was not removeable for some reason, so I ended up doing an ugly electrical tape job. I took the 3 wires, and slid them onto the 3 prongs on the sensor, then taped it all into place. I know, it's ghetto. It actually held up for 3 years.
Recently, I started throwing the p0340 code again. I tried retaping the connection, but it's sketchy, and I throw the code again every few days. I've gone to a couple of dealers, but they claim that they don't have a connector with a 3 wire pigtail. They said I have to order the ~$800 engine wiring harness. Many have recommended that I go to a salvage yard to find a sensor and cut the connector with 3 wires. I've gone to one, they didn't have any Evos and the Eclipses and Gallants I looked at did not have a part that worked.
I will look at other salvage yards, but if anyone out there has a salvage Evo and could offer this part, it would be much appreciated.
I'll pay some reasonable amount of course. I bought a spare Cam Position sensor, so another option is to hack it up and solder the wires directly, but since the prongs are recessed, it may be difficult.
Here are two pics of the carnage:


Any other ideas or insight is also welcome....

To clarify, i have the sensor, but if someone has the connector that plugs into it along with a few inches of wire, I could splice/solder/tape the wires and make a much more solid connection.
