the crankshaft sensor is attatched to the transmission bellhousing. it detects the teeth on the flywheel as they pass the sensor during engine operation and provides the computer with information concerning engine speed and crankshaft angle. it is used to advance/retard timing and control Fuel injector pulses. it is held on by two bolts.

Here is a brief run down on the CPS or TDC removal. This also gives location:

Good luck with it. I haven't had to replace mine yet, but I'm sure I'll have to later.[addsig]

And what did you use to get to the 2 bolts holding the TDC sensor to the bell housing? I'm having a dickens of a time finding the right combination of extension, swivel, etc. Thanks for any help or ideas you can offer.[addsig]
