Default Code P1381 cylinder position

I having the CEL light on and the code is P1381. From what I could find, I need to change my crank position sensor. Is this where it is?

Plugs in where the top arrow is... Goes to the bottom of the engine sensor bolts in there?

Any help is appreciated...

Like the other guy said, the CYP is inside the distributor. The sensor on the crankshaft is the CKF sensor. The 1996 system still uses the distributor for all spark and injection timing. The crank sensor is used only to detect a skipped timing belt.
