If you are pulling OBD code P1361, or if you are having problems with the car periodically losing power suddenly (revs drop to about 1k, car will not accelerate, check engine light comes on) there is a good post here:

If you have the hood up, facing the engine, it is just to the right of the valve cover, underneath (closer to the ground) and behind (inset an inch or so) the timing belt cover. The sensor is oriented so that oval female connector it is facing the driver's side wheel. To locate it without first taking everything off, stand on the driver's side of the engine bay, and look or feel down the gap between the engine and the steel hoses (Power Steering IIRC) attaching to the quarter panel nearest you. There should be some cables terminating at a round rubber grommet 4-6" from the top of the engine - this is the electrical connection to the CMP. The gray plastic piece the grommet plugs in to is the timing belt cover.

To replace it you can do pretty much all the work with a 10mm socket - have some socket extensions of various length, gloves and patience. You'll have to remove the valve and timing belt cover - start to finish, it took me about three hours. I suggest getting a manual for visual and technical reference.

I was able to find this part at a local O'Reilly - part number CSS1618. Other stores (including dealers) in my area did not stock them. And, not only did they stock the part, they were the cheapest source - I compared the two parts once I had the original out, and the the new part was identical to the OEM, down to the factory markings.

Good luck HTH...
