Nope, that's the oil pressure sensor. CKPS is further back..... and lower down on the passenger side. (cleverly concealed behind all sorts of stuff that like to slice flesh, and absorb blood....)

if you have no spark at the plugs, follow the spark path -
check the distributor cap and rotor.

Default fixed- root cause Crankshaft position sensor

I replaced the cam position sensor, the cap , the rotor then the crankshaft as I couldn't find it

putting this out there for others as I had a heck of a time finding it though many said behind block.

I had to get to it by jacking up car going between the pipes and finally able to see it, taking the 2 bolts out by feel.

just putting this out there for someone else on how to get at it or at least how I was able on the v6

thanks again for all the help people
