My car currently has no rpm sensor in it and i bought one, so i am wondering where does it go and how to install? It is an OEM rpm.

Never heard of such a sensor. Does your engine run now? What kind of problem are you trying to solve?

I had it mixed up with something else sorry but the sensor for my tachometer. My rpm gauge does not work at all as it does not have this sensor in.

If the engine is running it sounds like the cluster has gone out. Here is the location of the sensor which is the crankshaft position sensor.

1 - Fuel Injector 1
2 - Fuel Injector 2
3 - Fuel Injector 3
4 - Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
5 - Fuel Injector 4
6 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Solenoid
7 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor - Intake
8 - Knock Sensor (KS)
9 - Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) Switch
10 - Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
11 - Starter Solenoid
12 - Starter
13 - Intake Manifold

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
