mickyfin32 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 i had the same problem the crank sensor is just above the starter motor as you look you'll see a 2 pin black connection that turns 90 degrees heading into where gearbox is attached hope this helps ps hope when replacing with new the old one doesnt crumble like mine did i had to split gearbox and engine to get it out !!!! let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
