    Default CrankShaft Rotation Sensor

    Alright so i keep hearing this affects Starting your car. Ive had a couple Random start failures and figured this would be a start to solving this prob.

    Where exactly is it located, what should I be looking for ( no luck on Real OEM)

    well what are you expecting to see...!lol
    you cant tell by looking at it, unless of course the wires are damaged

    a faulty CPS will usually mean the car wont fire, sometimes fires at wrong moment
