Hey Munir, both the RPM and Reference sensor are located in a holder  
on the bellhousing behind your tranny dipstick tube...follow the  
Oxygen sensor lead up, and you'll be able to "feel" the other 2.   
They are held in by a plate with 2 10mm(12?) bolts. Since it's a bit  
of a hassle to get them out, most people just replace both.  When  
they were $140/each, that was kinda painful, but you can use the  
cheaper 5000TQ ones....just have to ziptie up the extra wire.  If  
they are original, the one with the grey plug is the RPM  
sensor....Note which hole that was in, so you can get the plugs right  
when you install the new ones.  If they are not stranding you now,  
they will at some point.  I had a set that tested fine, but when I  
hit them with the heatgun, one was bad.  Now both cars have a good  
spare in the glovebox for the next time I'm 40 miles off the highway  
in some canyon in Idaho....I'm also pretty sure that one of the  
times, I got no code....Good luck
