I pulled a code for a crankshaft position sensor malfunction, and bought the part to replace it, I just can't seem to locate the actual sensor. I was told by the parts guy that it would be near the top of the block, but I'm thinking that he thought it was the camshaft positioning sensor. Got any info as to where the sensor is located, and how to go about replacing it?
