Hi,

The crankshaft position sensor is on the side of the engine facing the firewall. It's near the transmission and behind the exhaust manifold on that side.

Pic 1 shows the location of the sensor. The remaining pics are the directions specific to your vehicle for replacing the sensor. Additionally, here is a link that explains in general how one is replaced. You can use it to help guide you.

Take care and let me know what I can do to help.

Joe
