It is the crankshaft sensor that your are removing so there is a wire attached to it. It is located on the driverside in the engine block about even with the crankshaft.

This is a photo from a 2.8 motor, but the location should be near identical:

You may have to bend a metal bracket that carries some wires. Just gently bend it out of the way enough to reach your hand in there. There isn't much room to use a wrench so it can take a while to get the bolt out.
The locking pin should go in at least this far I was able to put it in by hand. When it's in this far, the crankshaft will not budge in the slightest. |

That's the oil pan in the 1st photo, on the drivers side. It's a 10mm bolt attached to the cam lock plug, make sure the o-ring comes out. I'm determined to find this today. The good news though is that I'm definitely looking in the right place. I can't imagine that it would be a foot or 2 more towards the rear. At this point, I think it's just a matter of my vision being blocked by that pipe. |
I wouldn't remove any pipes until you know exactly what they are, especially in that area near the AC compressor.
There was a thread recently where a guy was having trouble finding this same plug that you're looking for...luckily he posted a pic of what he thought was it - it was part of the AC compressor, and he could have been injured if he'd removed it. |

Is this it?

I'm pretty sure that it's a little further towards the back than I was initially thinking. I've taken a picture of what I think might be it, but I wanted to check before doing anything (I don't want to do anything unnecessary in the Texas heat).
Anyways, this is a little further back, and excuse the close up nature of the picture. I've circled what I think might be the right bolt. On the bottom of the picture looks like 2 electrical connections being held together on the metal clamp in the lower right (and with a twist tie out of the picture). I'm assuming that if this is what I'm looking for, I can just remove the metal clamp holding these connectors in place and hopefully scoot them aside. Does that sound right? Again, thanks for the help. |
