My idle was really low and my car was dying at stoplights. A friend adjusted the idle and the check engine light came on. I read the computer codes and found out that the crank position sensor was the culprit. I find out that the idle can get screwy when you have a bad one of these, so that came as a relief. I ended up buying a replacement and scoured the internet for where it is located. Where is the Crank Position Sensor located? I cant' find any info on it anywhere.

Thank you.
