Camshaft sensor location?

[mika]

Hi, 

can someone please help me to find the location of the camshaft sensor in a T22 avensis with a 4A-FE engine? Thanks!

The camshaft sensor is located at the coil end (transmission side). You will see the cable coming from it.

Thanks Konrad, but there is no sensor there, just the distributor in my engine?

According to this the 4AFE engine does not have a crankshaft sensor (nor, I assume a cam sensor) what it does have is a magnetic inductive pickup coil with internal built ignitor.

the 7A4E engine does have one, positioned on the side of the block near the dipstick tube.
