Yea im new with repairing 97 honda accord ex, and just need some help on where exactly the crank position sensor is located. I read that its behind the crank pulley, but where exactly, anyone have detailed pics or anything to show me where its at, and where is the tensioner for the timing belt? I took this all apart , and couldnt get the damn top cam back on with the belt.. yes I know im a noob with this, but a fast learner lol! Please help, so I can at least get the car back on the road to drive it to a mechanic.. A guide would be awesome on how to replace this sensor, and im a little slow, so the more detailed the steps the better LOL

THANK YOU!!

Your best bet would be to go to the ericthecarguy website and under the tools heading, there is a video on 1990-2002 4-cylinder timing belt. It costs $11. He goes through step by step on how to do the timing belt on a 4-cylinder accord. The one in the video has a crank sensor that he removes while doing the timing belt.

 

These two links show the crank position sensor on the 96-97 Accords.

This next link is a guide on timing belt replacement; however, the Accord shown may be a 94 or 95 ( which had the CPS located in the distributor). However, with the above links, you see where the CPS is located for the 96-97. The engine blocks for the 94-95 are basically the same as the 96-97.

It's a combined sensor, CKP and TDC. Located just below the crankshaft, fastened to the oilpump housing, shown as #17 in this picture. You have to remove the lower timing cover, which means removing that #^@#& crankshaft pulley.
