Where is the cam sensor for 1990 Pontiac lemaze le 1.6 liter located at?

There isn't a "cam sensor", because the car has a distributor. So the ignition module attached to the side of the distributor connects to a hall effect sensor that is in the distributor under the circular slotted vanes attached to the distributor shaft. There is a four pointed star-looking piece in the distributor that should be firmly fixed to the shaft. If that piece is loose, that may be your problem (you'll need to buy a new dist). The sensor itself rarely fails.
