    The crankshaft angle sensor is located in the distributor housing. I have seen these sensors fail. The distributor often fills with oil and causes the sensor to fail. Oil in the distributor is a problem once the oil seal fails.

    mine was on the tranny bell housing and cost about $64.00 color is blue and one bolt holds it on. if you look down at the fan and then at bell housing you cant miss it.
