Stick your hand down by the oil filter housing, between it and the starter. Its right there. Easy to reach from the top, no biggie.

Same thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago. Normal driving, shifting from 1st to 2nd. BAM! Engine reduced pwr and lost all gauges. Took about 5 minutes to crank back up. Then it was in limp mode, driving like crap. Took it in under warranty- faulty crank position sensor. No CEL or anything but it runs like a champ now!

I went to turn the key a few times, and it just clicked nothing happened....waited a few minutes and it was good to go never did it again....

And I bet she drove by laughing at you.
