i have a 97 corolla 1.6, i got a 95 corolla engine because i blew my 97 motor. after getting the motor and tranny together i make the fatal discovery that my 95 motor has NO crankshaft positon sensor.......do i have ANY options? as i have the motor almost installed. can i rob parts off my blown engine or are the cranks completely different...thanks

you can swap the needed parts.

sweet! and when i said there was no sensor i meant there was no spot for it. i didnt mean it was just missing. im not sure if i was clear on that. so i will take whatever housing that is attached to it and see if i can move it onto my 95 motor. thanks for the quick reply!

you are the man bitter! the oil pump/housing swap was a breeze! i finally got all the bugs worked out so far and its running great!!!! i did have a serious vibration issue at about 1100 rpm so i replaced the motor mount on the passenger side and wow what a difference! thanks again for your response it made me feel better about doing the swap
