Hello, crank position sensor located at the 2 o`clock position hidden behind timing cover and crank shaft pulley. If you look closely in well lit area or use a flashlight you can follow the (CCPS) harness down the right hand side of timing cover to where it goes into lower timing cover on lower right hand side of crank shaft pulley. It can be replaced with out removing timing belt. Please note if the 60,000 miles heavy service interval for timing belt is needed and water pump condition should be observed when repairing the crank position sensor.

Your 1999 Mitsubishi Diamante is a 3.5L MFI SOHC 6cyl engine.
MFI = multi-port fuel injection
SOHC = single overhead camshaft

They usually install fuel filters within a foot of the fuel tank. It is very easy to find it. Follow the fuel line from the fuel tank and it will lead you right to it. If you go to a Auto Parts store, they may be able to show you a picture of it and that may help also.

Hey Kellop,here's a picture where it's at.Here's the sensor.

the camshaft position sensor is located behind the harmonice balancer remove balancer and timing cover once removed you will see it u will also have to remove the crank gear and timing belt be sure to reset the timing or mark the gears before removal hope this helps

near the harmonic balancer.

What engine do you have and is it DOHC or SOHC?
