Idk about the 99 civic but on my 95 jdm d15 the crank shaft position sensor is in the distributor. If the sensor is bad then you must replace the whole distributor. A bad wire could also cause this problem. Hope that helps good luck. jdmd15crx

The cps is tested with an ohmeter. Generally the sensor will read between 300-350 ohms. Also, check to see that the pick-up magnet is centered in the sensor housing. It should be positioned perpendicular to the flywheel teeth, with an air gap of 0.020-0.060 in. An adjustment to the high side, say 0.040-0.060 in. seems to work best. Also just a note, if the cps has failed, or is badly misadjusted, the engine will not run.

yes is should be done under the car or taking the manofold out???is is very hard to reach! It is on the driver side top of the bell housing. The wire wraps around the back of the engine and the plug is on the passenger side of the head.
