I can't seem to locate the crankshaft position sensor on my 2016 f150 2.7L ecoboost engine. There's tons of literature and videos for the 3.5 but not for the 2.7 and they are not the same. Can anyone tell me, with certainty, where this sensor is located? I have the replacement in hand ready to go. Thanks in advance
