I went to autozone today and got my CEL diagnosed. The only thing it said was my crank angle sensor was bad, and throwing the CEL.
I tried looking, but is this a dealer only part? And does anyone have a pic or accurate description of where it is/how to replace?
 
on the 420A motor it's on the back of the head where teh back of the cam would be. it's a black round piece that's moslty plastic... basicly you pull one out and put a new one in... not to sure if there's a way that you can have it 180* out of pahse since i haven't messed with one since i built a custom distributor for my G/F's neon when i was running an accell DFI on it... i do remember that it's easy to cahnge though
 
Did you ask the guys at Autozone? I got my 2gb turbo CAS from them for $80 in stock. If the 420a CAS is mounted like the 2gb 4G63, you can't mount it upside down. There's only one way it goes in, and it takes 1 minute to swap (one 10mm bolt, one plug).
