Great write up.

I do have two questions.
1-Where is the CPS located? On the front of the engine near the fan belt or the rear near the firewall.

2- When you replaced the crankshaft position sensor did you need to have any sort of re-initialization process performed with the STAR DIAGNOSIS in the menu item control module adaptations? I read about this having to be done, but I really don't know what it means as it's over my head.
