LOL, some dont have crank sensors my friend! if you dont have a crank sensor by your oil pan then you have a bad distributor sensor!
it can work! but you need exchange de oil pan, oil pump, timing gear, and timing belt cover! also the ditribuitor, I did already on my 97 Geo , using a 95 motor and it work perfect! sounds complicate but is real ease!
The crank bolt is right thread on a 96 geo metro. bob.
The crank sensor on the 2.0 DOHC engine is behind the flywheel (flex plate) on the back of the motor. In order to change it you must pull the transmission or motor.
on your oil pan, close to the crankshaft pully. mine had one bolt (1996) Dont worry, no oil will come out. These ussually get dirty and not work well. I would suggest removing and cleaning up and make sure the magnet is clean, and reinstall before buying a new one. sorry but this is wrong you do not have a crank positioning sensor on a 93 geo metro and if they do i have not found one on mine yet 96 was the first year for them to put a crank sensor on the oil pan
under he motor mount
there isn't one
in the distributor
Does it have an ignition control module? That may be the cause. Or possibly a MAP sensor or a Crank position sensor or Cam position sensor. Check those first.
Most '95 metros do not have one, if it does It's below the crank gear on the front of the engine, oil pan area, it is a two conductor connector
connected to the air cleaner housing
what's wrong with it? I had to reengineer mine, by modifying the location of the aft pivot point... It helped a bunch but still not perfect
in the dist.
