Can you help me locate 2 sensors?

Hi

I need to locate 2 different sensors to test them. The 1st sensor I need to locate is a engine speed sensor. The second sensor is a crank sensor.

This is my problem: when I change gear from 1st to 2nd, my car hesitates and looses power for a second or 2 and then drives normally, and then the same between 2nd and 3rd, but the hesitation is smaller. The problem gets even worse when I have some weight in the car or if I go uphill.

I think one of those sensors may be faulty which may be causing my problem.

Another problem I'm having (I'm not sure if it's related) is that it takes 8 or 10 turns of the key to start my car in the morning (as if there is no fuel getting through to the engine). Finally the engine stutters to a start and there's no problem starting when the engine is warm, just in the morning. I've changed the air filter, spark plugs, fuel pump, starting motor since the problem started but problem still there.

Thanks for your time.

You're after the flywheel sensor which will be on top of the gearbox bell housing where it meets the engine, slightly to the rear. It's black and is held on with a small bolt

The speed sensor is mounted on top of the diff, accessible only from underneath the car
