Where is the CrankPosSensor? 190E 2.6 1993

Engine stutters when hot and won't idle or restart easily. Runs fine when cold. Time to start throwing money at the car.
A search shows the Crankshaft Position Sensor is a candidate for loosing spark when the engine comes up to temperature.
Parts houses show a sensor at the front and rear. Help please. There's so much stuff at the front I'm not sure where to look. The manual diagram is end on indicating a sensor may be at left side of engine above horizontal. That's all I could deduce.
Any other ideas or suggestion gladly welcomed.

Trying to find a sensor behind the oil filter but not enough room. Am I close?
However -
Some suppliers shows CPS $50 - 'FRONT' I CAN see a sensor at the front. Is that it?
BUT
Other suppliers show CPS at flywheel $180 - rear Can't be two can there?
HELP

The crank position sensor for ignition module is accessible only after oil filter ir removed, so I'm told.
I have ordered the proper part from AutoHousAZ at $116 and it arrived today. Dealer wanted $198 and contributed to the vast number of part nrs. The Bosch box has 0 251 210 49. Apparently many engines use a similar CPS and an effort has been made to convert numbers to a universal part to ease stocking problems. Makes sense to me. Many supplier sites show other numbers but I went with the dealer's suggestion.
Also received an email from a mechanic who claims my problem is a faulty fuel pump, not the CPS. Will post results tomorrow when the car is working properly again. (hows that for positive thinking).
always wanted to try these things.
