Is there not a sensor plug on your timing chain cover? If not, it might if been relocated.

If your car is supercharged, and the crank sensor goes bad, youll need to remose the plate to get the sensor off and replaced. Release tension on the belt, dont loosen the oil drain back, Loosen all the bolts on the plate, bring the plate away from the motor, and have someone reach in there and replace it. Make sure you dont remove the drain back hose or Rip it. Oh and dont forget to remove your chrage pipe as well, and filter
