I have a 99 Acura cl 3.0 vtec.
The check engine light is on and the only thing that comes up at AutoZone was the camshaft sensor. He wasn't able to point it out to me because he could find it. I bought the Chilton book for my car but it doesn't help much either. Looked up in the index camshaft sensor and the page it sent me to re directed me to another page that goes over the crankshaft sensor. Are the the same? Are they similar and in the same location? It says the crankshaft position sensor is located on the crankshaft timing cover by the flywheel but still didnt see it

If anybody has any help please leave some info. Let me know what I need to take off to be able to see it or work on it and ill look into how that specific part comes off so you don't have to go that in depth
Thanks

 

I will try to remember to check my Helm's manual when I get home

 

There's two plugs down below the rear timing cover and I believe that they are related to the crankshaft and possibly the camshaft sensor.

 

Idk how comparable the 3.0 is to the 2.3, but my camshaft sensor is in the distributor. I did a full tune up, and ended up swapping 3 different distributors to get rid of the code. I never went away. It ended up being a faulty ecu. Swapped the ecu, cel gone and the car drove like a champ.
