Look on the back of the engine block, near the middle or slightly to the passenger side, about halfway between the lip of the oil pan and the cylinder head gasket. I'm doing this from memory. If you don't find it there, you'll have to tell me if it's a single or dual camshaft engine. The sensor will have three wires in its plug. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

It's a dual overhead cam. I've heard anywhere from between the oil filter and the alternator to behind the timing cover. Just would like to know for sure to make this as painless as possible. Thanks for the information. Much needed!!
