i assume this is a 2.5?remove the engine coverremove the intake boot from the throttle bodylay on top of the car with your head peering down by the throttle body and place a small flashlight on the rear motor mount and there you will see the crank sensor by the bellhousing on the engine sideyou will need, a small flashlight, regular pliers, good hands, and a 1/4 ratchet with a 10mm socket and approx 6 in extensionhave fun

Front of engine , to the right, Look just under throttle body coming towards the front , Just above the thermostat housing there's 2 switches mounted there, The 1st one near the top closer to the throttle body is the cam/crank sensor, HOPE this HELPS

The Crank Position Sensor (CKP) is illustrated in the technical photo below. You have to access this from the bottom, it is really difficult to access from both sides

Here is a more detailed view.
