How to replace tdc & ckp sensors?
I need to replace TDC (top dead center) and CKP (crankshaft position) sensors on my 01 civic.
When i drive at highway speed, the check engine light comes on and the engine stalls. It won't restart until it cools down for several minutes (it cranks normally though). After it restarts, the car behaves normally (check engine light off).
I took it to the dealer, they checked the codes stored in the ECU and they told me that both TDC and CKP sensors need to be replaced.
Is it difficult to replace those 2 sensors?
Do i need to remove all the drive belts first or is there a way to gain access to the sensors without pulling all the belts out?
Also, is there a DIY for this job? I did a search but i couldn't find anything related to my issue apart a DIY for timing belt.
Thanks.

Re: How to replace tdc & ckp sensors?
just do the Timing bet DIY, the two sensors are behind the timing belt cover, and the crank pos sensor is behind the crank pulley, its about 3 hours worth of work, if ur even close to 90k, id just do a timing belt diy, and do it all at once, save urself some time
