Default Help! finding Right hand camshaft sensor pigtail

So I've narrowed down the no start issue on my 97' Ls400 to an incorrect part and a shorted wire easy fix right? wrong
upon removing the shorted wire the connector of course fell apart I've looked all over the internet cant find even a picture of it its the right hand side (passenger in USA) Camshaft Position Sensor Connector I can find the drivers side connector no problem every major parts site has it for sale but not this one if anyone is parting out a 95'-97' and has this specific pigtail please let me know or if anyone even has a link to brand new ones that would be amazing maybe I haven't checked this forum enough but I really cant find it anywhere please help !

Let me see if I can keep this straight in my head....

I'm wondering if a left bank cam sensor will work on the right bank? It looks like the connectors are the same except for a locating tab. Looking at Rock Auto images of both sensors, the wiring for both are the same with respect to the connector. Just run two left bank connectors and get a left bank repair pigtail (essentially run two left bank sensors and pigtails).

An easier fix is get a pair of flush cut (this is important) cutters and trim this tab from the right bank sensor connector. Then you can fit a left bank repair connector to the right bank wires. Just be sure to run the new connector wires in the same orientation as the old connector.



Right Bank Cam Position sensor - Trim this tab off flush.


Left Bank Pigtail



Flush Cut Cutters

Another alternative is to get a hold of Kelvin at Cartune NZ. He does wiring looms for 1UZ engines and gets connectors in large quantities. The connector your looking for is on the harness, yes?

It appears the connector you want is part number 90980-10949. The Toyota Wire Harness Repair Manual (RM1022E) has a drawing of it on page D-5
