My 1996 Honda accord threw a code for crank shaft sensor last year i refused to fix it, now it throws a code for camshaft sensor and my carmd suggests that I replace the distributor. Will that cover the crankshaft sensor too. And where is both the crankshaft and the camshaft sensor? I want to replace all this myself.
Camshaft sensor is in distributor(requires dist. replacement) crankshaft is behind lower timing belt cover
Just replace distributer is all nsync together
THE ANSWER TO YOUR Q IS NO,THE CAM SENSOR IS IN THE DIST ASSY,AND THE CRANK SENSOR IS LOCATED BEHIND THE LOWER TIMING BELT,AND DEPENDING ON MILEAGE YOU MAY ALSO BE DUE FOR A TIMING BELT/WATER PUMP(DUE EVERY 90000 MILES OR 6 YRS
Check out www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for the sensor location and prices

befor in the ealier models of accords they use to be both the cam and crank sensors in the distibutor but they separated them !!!So no they are not together on your car tha cam sensor is in the distributor and the crank sensor is in front of engine or in the lower timing belt cover if it is in the timing cover you can see a wire going dow the timing cover way to the bottom on the rear side off it
hope it will help you if you have any question just wright back !!!!

Lease check and make sure that you replace with the right seal, that alone should have taken care of this problem. However if the valve cover gasket is loose or bad it will cause oil to leak around distributor are but NOT into distributor. This seal can be easily replaced by loosing 4 10mm bolts on top of valve cover. Contact if you need more help Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

Unfortunatly no. The Crank shaft position sensor is not located in the distributor. It is located at the oil pump.
Next question is the a 4 or 6 cyl..
does what?
Crank sensor is located behind the crankshaft pulley. Remove the accessory drive belts, crank pulley, and lower timing cover
