Nissan Repair: Crank Angle Sensor on 2003 Sentra SER, crank angle sensor, harmonic balancer

Question
Where can I find the Crank Angle Sensor on a 2003 Sentra SER Spec V (2.5 L)?  I've been looking on the block (and transmission) but can't see a sensor on it that looks like a sensor on the head (cam angle sensor is supposed to look the same as the crank angle sensor).  Any help on this would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

Answer
Paul,

If yours has a crank angle sensor it should be on the timing cover, passenger side, way down low by the harmonic balancer.  If it is not there it the the distributor itself that needs to be replaced.  Some Nissan's use the timing cover and the balancer as a trigger and others use the distributor.
