I had my car towed to autozone and had it put on the machine. It registered that the crank sensor was not hooked up. Can someone please tell me where do I find this on my engine. I have a picture of it but I can't locate it on the engine...

I don't know much about cars in general. I have a 4 cycle. Front wheel. 2 wheel drive. I just need to know where the crank sensor is, but I don't know the part you are referring to to look at.

It registered that the crank sensor was not hooked up-Why didn't autozone just hook it up for you if its the problem. Something is wrong here-

Auto Zone did not know where it was either they printed out a copy of what it would look like but everything in this engine is so compact that its hard to see. They are making the inside of the cars bigger but the engine area smaller which makes it harder to work in. I had taken that alternator out 1st time for me and that was so hard... Anyway guess I'll ask Honda dealer where this part is. Thanks for all your help.
