You forgot to mention what year you car was. For the mid 90's at least (just quessing what you have). It is located right behind the harmonic balancer. In order to gain acess to it, I would remove the passenger side wheel, and then the inner fender shield. At this point you will be looking directly at the harmonic balancer. The sensor is at app the 2 o'clock position.

93 dist.doc

Here's what I could find on it, hope it helps. The sensor is built into the dist, it is not clear which of the two are for the crankshaft, What code are you getting? I may be able to give you some pointers on what to look for.

The white connector looks like it is to the water temp sensor (brown plug by the timming cover). I believe that is the ecm water temp sensor (ecm uses a different sensor than the instrament panel). The crank sensor is in the distributor, (on the drivers side of the engine).

Kelley -

I don't mean to sound rude, but it would really help if you could use a more descriptive thread title next time. A lot of people who might be able to solve your issue will probably just completely pass over this thread, because they can't tell what problems you're having by the extremely generic thread title.
