Hello, they've got this one hidden on the backside of the engine, when looking at it from the front end. I'll post a diagram showing its exact location, looks to be under a small shield.

Here's the crank position sensor location, with its connector and wire colors to help identify it, and then if it is replaced, there is a crankshaft position Variation Relearn procedure which is normal. It's easiest to do with a capable scan tool that has those types of special functions. If you are getting circuit codes for the sensor, be sure to check the wiring harness up to the sensor and any connectors the wiring runs through for any possible damage or corrosion. Let us know if you need additional wiring diagrams. And let us know what you find, it really helps us out a lot. Thanks

Here's the OEM wiring diagram, it shows the crank sensor using the 5-volt reference #2, so there should be a 5v feed with the key on.
