cutting out

I thought you only got both crank & cam sensors on VVT engines? I'd have thought W reg was too early for VVT? I may of course be wrong!

I'm not sure what model the W reg is, as they aren't referred as that here is Aus, but if its the M13A motor it will have both sensors, VVT or not, but the G13B only has the camshaft sensor I believe

W reg is 1998 / 99. All Jimnys before 2001 (I think) only had a cam sensor and Spanish built soft tops up to 2003.

I think there is some confusion as, without VVT, the cam and crank phase is locked, though it turns half as fast as the crank - so a Cam and Crank sensor are effectively the same thing and are referred to interchangeably.

With Variable Valve Timing, the phase of the cam shaft varies with respect to the crank - so you need two separate sensors.

The cam sensor itself is quite common on other cars. The one I bought only cost £25. It looks slightly different but works fine! I bought it here (Clicky link)

Mine is the M13A non VVT and has both a crankshaft and a camshaft sensor.
