I purchased this car it didn't run. I am suspecting the crank sensor. There is a lot of confusion on where it is located. It's not under timing cover, or next to oil filter. I ca't see anything on the bell housing. I would appreciate any help.

Good afternoon,

The crank and cam sensor are one unit on the back of the head.

I attached a picture for you to view and removal instructions.

NOTE: The crankshaft position and camshaft sensor are replaced as a complete unit.

REMOVAL:
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Place an alignment mark on sensor body and engine block, indicating position of sensor body in block or cylinder head. Place No. 1 cylinder to TDC of compression stroke.
3. Disconnect wiring harness from sensor.
4. Remove sensor mounting nut, then the sensor assembly from engine.
