if its a 16 valve engine (x14xe) then yh it could be either the camshaft sensor or crank sensor but the 8 valve engines dont have a camshaft sensor...

crank sensor is located behind the bottom pulley on a bracket if its a 16 valve engine, which im guessing it is as you havent said :lol: plus its a 97 sport so it should be :)
