With the flywheel timing mark aligned at zero, #1 cylinder (front left facing engine) should be at top dead center and distributor rotor should be pointing at #1 post (1st post clockwise past the battery connector on the dist cap). If the distributor has been removed and reinstalled, the rotor may point at the opposite post (180deg out). If so, the distributor will have to be lifted enough to allow the rotor to be turned back to the #1 post. Be careful, if you try firing the engine with the timing significantly off, she will kick back into the starter, possibly damaging the starter gear or worse....! Once started, set the timing to 12deg btdc....good luck! Mike

It's in the distributor also called a hall sensor.

10 degrees BTDC ( unless engine compartment sticker shows different )
Cam sensor is inside the distributor under pick-up coil. Some say whole distributor has to come out to replace, some have snuck it out by removing pick-up coil.
mark position of old distributor on motor and on old dist, also mark position of rotor. Remove old distributor, mark the position on new distributor, move rotor to the marked position, drop in
The 92 tempo doesn't have a crankshaft sensor. However the multi-port fuel injected models do have a Camshaft Position Sensor located near the distributor.
On cars without distributors, the engine relies on sensors to send fire to the plugs. Sensors are commonly used to find the position of the crankshaft to determine the proper time to fire the plugs.
where is the 2003 Cadillac Deville Crankshaft Position Sensors located
Assuming you have set the engine to #1 TDC and marked the position of the distributor and the position of the rotor, remove the distributor hold-down clamp and it's bolt, then pull the distributor up and out.
It is part of the distributor. You have to replace the distributor
