I've been throwing an intermittent code for some time and it prevents my car from starting on some occasions. I'm goign to replace the:

Crankshaft Position Sensor & the camshaft position sensor

I know where the camshaft sensor is, but I need to know where the crankshaft is and how to access it. I'm assuming it's somewhere near the crank pulley. I wish All Data showed the exact location.

Just PM'd you but I'll put it here in case anyone else wants to know. It's underneath the lower timing belt cover. To get to it, you have to remove the serp belt, crank pulley, idler pulley, water pump pulley, and then the timing belt cover. The serp tensioner probably has to come out, too.

When you fixed this problem, your car started up perfectly fine? We are at a standstill with my motor right now. we think its either the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft position sensor. but we aint 100% sure, we want to be positive before we go spending money on stuff i might not need...

but when you replaced them, that fixed the problem? And how much did each cost, so i know what I'm getting myself into... thanks.

You should be able to test the sensor to determine if it's faulty.

Hey @otter, I was reading through this because my 04' Ralliart threw a P0335 code recently. I got my hands on a replacement sensor but ran into some issues finding a good diagram of the accessory belts to the crankshaft pulley. Do you have recommendations for a good place to look or manual to purchase? I looked at Chilton online, but the descriptions and images are sparse. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
