It's been a while, but I remember it being right down by the flywheel on the front of the block on a bracket, pointing at the flywheel. Mine's a '95.

Why? seems like an odd question to ask without any background information....

What does "looks untouched" mean, or refer to?

THE TROUBLE CODE IS "obd II code P0336"

crankshaft position sensor.... or wiring problem

I dont know and cant find out if the timing belt/wpump has been replaced... 170k miles.

to me, the front of the engine is where the water pump would be and the back would be next to the transmission.

I thought the flywheel connected to the torque converter... ? right or wrong??

My apologies, it's been a long day, you are absolutely correct. I meant to say the pulley for the timing belt (on the crank, at the front of the engine). I have heard (no personal experience) that the electrical connector will sometimes come loose from the crank position sensor, which will certainly indicate a bad sensor. My '95 now has about 330K on it and I've never had any problems with the C/P/S.

Just for the next guy reading 10 years later: The crankshaft position sensor you can find on the underside of the engine, take of the splash shield, and you can see it. If you have had a coolant leak for a few months, the coolant will drip down to where it is, and mess with the connection or maybe even the sensor itself. Mine went kaputt after 25 years, after I did the waterpump and everything. The leak was there for 3 months before the waterpump went completely, so coolant messed it up.

Had to use a drill to get it out.
