does a 1994 S-10 with a 4.3 throttle body have a crank sensor and where?

I have been getting so many conflicting reports please don't answer if your not sure (it's just wasting both our time) It is a 1994 and has a 4.3 it does have the distributer and coil everything has been changed even module but still no spark been getting allot of people say change the crank sensor but auto zone says there is not one until 1996 and advanced auto parts says there is one on passenger side behind harmonic balancer Do you see how confusing this can be I did not see one behind the balancer

from what i see you don't have a CPS. the ecm uses the distributor to locate the cam/crank.

for "no spark" condition,
all info points to the distributor cap/rotor, ignition components in the distributor, ignition switch, or a bad ecm.

obviously that's barring an open circuit somewhere. bad wire or connector.

It ability a difficulty replaced into detected interior the crankshaft sensor circuit and interior the throttle physique circuit. you prefer a qualified grasp mechanic to diagnose it extra effective. do no longer in basic terms replace the areas. If i replaced into engaged on the motor vehicle i could erase the codes and enable them to reset back in the past making a decision. a competent test gadget will additionally study the engine information so a mechanic can study the readings to the specs the areas are meant to be at. make advantageous all the battery cables and posts are sparkling. verify the engine floor connections.

Crank sensors are usually located somewhere on the side of the engine block. Not often easy to get at.

it's on the front of the engine below the harmonic balancer, not that hard of a repair job

if you look down behind the harmonic balancer and see weird teeth with a sensor facing the teeth then there it is
