Hi,

The crankshaft position sensor is located in the transmission bell housing. See pic 1 for location. The camshaft position sensor is in the distributor itself. You will need to remove the distributor cap to locate it. See pic 2 for location. Pic 3 shows the location of the knock sensor.

I'm not sure what you are dealing with, but it all seems tied into a timing issue, a misfire, or a no-start condition. Let me know what is happening. Hopefully, I'll be able to help.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
