I changed the Crank Position Sensor on May 1st the car has started everytime since. It also startes better now. The engine light didn't stay on and I didn't bother to get the code checked. My brother is a mechanic and said generally it is the CPS when the vehicle only occasionally starts & no code is left. This is because the computer needs this information to start the vechicle, but if the engine doesn't run, the computer doesn't run, therefore no code can be stored. I figured for the price of a new CPS it was pretty cheap to try, rather than paying shop rates. To answer my original post the CPS is on the front of the engine (in realtion to the car), near the middle right (looking under the hood). It is hidden by a steel plate & put on with a torx bolt.
