Hello,

Replacing Crankshaft and/or Camshaft Position Sensors[CKP] and/or [CMP] are one of the easiest things to do to an engine. Here is a link below with a generic guide on how to replace a CKP sensor below:

In the diagrams down below I have included the location and the instructions for the removal and installation of your vehicle's CKP sensor. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

The crank sensor is located inside of the timing cover above the bottom crank pulley. Hard to get to when working in a parking lot. Lol. But unlike the directions above you don’t have to do anything with the starter.
