That's the camshaft position sensor. Not sure if it is adjustable. Just recently purchased a 94 from a little lot here in town. Check engine light was on before i bought the car(bought anyways because of the price) but he agreed to fix whatever was causing the problem. $560.00 bucks later at his expense no check engine light, new cam position sensor and drive gear. I noticed no difference from before the unit was replaced. mechanic stated that only real difference i should notice is in better gas mileage. before I had it repaired it was getting about 19 mpg comuting back in forth to work. haven't checked to see if there is any difference yet though.
There is a lengthy process that is required if you remove it(The shaft). I was going to try and replace mine and have the car lot owner reimburse me plus a little extra, but after reding whats involved in replacing I left it to a qualified tech....lol. I do remember reading that you had to be sure to set a certain cylinder to tdc. Will check once i get home and post.

Yes it is the Cam position sensor and if removed it has to go back in exactly the same or you need a special cam position sensor tool to realign it other wise it will cause bad idling or worse. When you swap out a cam it needs to be removed and put back in, it isn't hard if you know what your doing, but I would leave it alone unless you really need to remove it.
i had to take it out and switch it with the 95 one and the idle does suck and i am running very rich on the left bank. i had the coes ran and it was the o2 sensor code. with an exhaust leak do this i have one now where the header bolts to the pipe. anyway the code for a cam positioner did not show up and i turned it while it was running and no difference.
