90-93 CAS has 2 separate connectors whereas the 94-96 has ONE connector.

If you include this information, model trim (standard, t or a) and location in your profile, we can help you a little better and you don't have to repeat it every time.

The sensor is known as the CAS, Crank Angle Sensor, and is a big sensor with a black cap on it saying Nissan and has a Mitsubishi emblem on it as well. There is a small connector on the side facing the charcoal canister/drivers side front wheel. There is another connector above that is larger and grey in color, it should be mounted underneath the plastic cover inbetween the valve covers on the front of the engine just behind the belt-driven cooling fan. If they are indeed plugged in then I would suggest cleaning with a wire brush and/or sand paper and electrical contact cleaner. Only use grease after confirming the sensor works as I have seen grease impair conductivity as it is an insulator.
