Default where is the crank sensor? also need new connector...

I'm looking for the crank sensor and i must be blind haha. I'm trying to hook up my timing tuner and i need to plug it into the crank sensor...but i don't see it. I was told its above the starter but i don't see anything

It's behind the starter, so you'll have to remove it

You can see it in the first pic just behind the starter. The plug itself is at a 90 degree angle to the block. Look again you'll see it

Thanks that helps alot.

I was hoping i didn't have to remove the starter....because a couple years ago i went to replace the starter and as i was removing the starter a piece of the block (where the bolt threads through) fell on my chest....so there was a half threaded hole there. Built it back up with some 2-part epoxy, let it harden and re-tapped the hole. Its held so far with no problems....just haven't removed the starter since then.

...i know....It happened when i broke my flexplate, the flexplate fucked up the starter very badly and the beating the starter took resulted in that piece of the block breaking off....there were pieces of the starter sitting inside the tranny as well....

I was just under my car taking the starter off an hour ago. I was nervous to see if that epoxy held up....and...it didn't. It was actually gone and the inside bolt is the only bolt holding the starter. I have to go back under the car tomorrow to replace a connector and while i'm under there i'll get a picture of that piece of the block that broke so you know what i'm talking about...

Yep, thats one of the weaker areas of the block and prone to cracking. Good luck

The car won't start now... Because one of the wires that goes into the crank sensor fell out and won't go back in. Does anyone know where i can get a new connector to wire up?
