The cam shaft sensor plugs into the wire harness running along side the driver side valve cover, the harness under the injectors.

I think you need to get a pickup for a 97 motor. Rockauto has different part numbers for the years, so maybe a different plug end.

They are. If I had known the year models before I wouldve said something. The plugs on alot of things changed in 98.
