I don't know where the crank sensor is located on the motor so I can replace it. I need help.

I do apologize but the diagram I've seen but they don't tell me a lot. Could you please help with a video or a better diagram please. Please I'm very desperate.

Unfortunately we don't have a video for this engine but hopefully this will help because it is easy to find once you orient yourself to the picture.

If you lay on the ground (assuming you don't have a lift) at the front of the engine, it will be right next to the crank pulley on the passenger side of the vehicle.

In the first picture, I circled the location of the crank pulley. This picture just shows it with no pulley and that is the crankshaft.

The second picture is at a bit of an angle but shows the pulley and then the sensor is just to the left which will be on the passenger side. This is from a 4.6L mustang but the location is the same.

If you still can't find it, get me a picture of the front of your engine focusing on the crank pulley and I will try to circle it for you on your engine.
