Mitsubishi used two different 2.4 engines in that vehicle year. One is a single overhead cam with a very unique VVT system on that engine. Unlike the typical method of just using a phaser they used a motor on a rockshaft as well. There is the single cam position sensor on the end of the rocker housing below the oil filler cap which is controlled through a single oil flow solenoid that moves the camshaft phaser, they also used a valve lift control motor that was part of the carrier assembly (14 in the picture) and it was adjustable via the motor on the opposite end of the rocker cover. That has its sensor built into the motor.
The other is a dual overhead cam engine which does use two sensors. Which engine version do you have?
