Thanks guys for trying to help..!!!!
BUT...it doesnt REALLY tell me much..! The diagram That DR. Sternschnuppe..IS correct...showing N5 as the right crankshaft TDC sensor..BUT...it shows it going to the "box"on the inner fender. The "end"on the sensor wires is a "curved"3 socket "female"end...so..it needs a "male"3 prong connector to it. Does...this end just sit "loose"for diagnostics..?...OR..is it connected to something...??? From the look of the condition of the "used" female end..it is totally clean...SO..it MUST have been connected..SOMEWHERE..???!! The sensor at the flywheel has never been touched...so..the question IS...is the FRONT crank sensor FUNCTIONAL..OR JUST sitting "loose"for diagnostic..?..A REAL brain teaser..!!! There was thousands of these "1980s" 2.0 w201s made...but..they are..along with many parts...getting RARE..! PLEASE...SOMEONE out there MUST have one SIMILAR to this..???...and can look to see WHERE this crank sensor wire runs..? Thanks tons guys..! Cheers..Ken Thanks..!

The curved 3 prong wire connector is part of the x11 diagnostic connector located near the EZL. Supplies ignition timing info. Do you have the round x11 on the left fenderwell? However without a diagnostic tool that uses x11 the harness will serve no purpose. My 3 prong slice is numbered 7-8-9.

Hey...thanks Paul..!...but..I got a buddy of mine over..who..like myself has worked on such a variety of auto projects. Together..we figured it out..! ...WHAT..should be stated is:..that, the crank "TDC"sensor fits into the REAR of the diagnostic locator..!!!..WHAT gave me the problem..???...was that I had already installed the "diagnostic connector"on to the 2 studs that are on the L.S. inner fender..!..SO..I ran around like an idiot to find out where..( as yours..the 7,8,9.) connector went..!...DUH..!!!
We both had a laugh over this stupid situation..! Thanks all at this site for trying to help..! Cheers..! Ken
