How to replace crank position sensor?
Well I just found out that I need to replace my Crank Postion Sensor. Does anyone know where to locate it? Pictures would also be a bonus.

Thanks!

its a little black sensor located on the bellhousing right where hte trans mounts up to the block. Its on the front side of the car, all you need is a ratchet.

It looks like there are actually 2 crankshaft position sensors. REF and POS. make sure you've got the right one.

Well my sympton was that my car has a very difficult time starting. I had it scanned, and code P1335 or 0407 came up. This represents the front sensor.
