@robfish its located behind the starter and you’ll have to reach it from under the car.

Mar 11, 2019 (Edited) (Sorry for the double posting of this question: I'm a rookie in this forum. Chastise me gently, please!) Hi, I get a code stating that the crankshaft position sensor A circuit isn't working (and the car is hard to start, so I don't doubt it). Now I want to change the sensor, but I can't find it on the engine! Can anyone help me out? I hope it's
not buried with the timing belt. And I'm surprised that Google, which is usually so helpful in such matters, isn't helping. Thanks in advance for any help. Joined

The Crank sensor is on the transmission - - - where the engine and trans meet - -Just under the front valve train. Not hard - - I just replaced my crank sensor last week.
You need to take out the battery - - holder - and intake to get at it.
