I assume you mean the Crank sensor?

It's next to the oil filter.

"The connector end of the sensor is located at the rear of the engine and improved access can be gained by removing the wiper arms and scuttle cover".

you'll get different fault codes for cam and crank sensor

I think the general wisdom on the V6 is that the cam sensor is robust but the crank sensor is not.

hope this helps
