It's inside the distributor. If it's really bad, you have to replace the entire distributor sub-assembly and then transfer over your current cap, rotor, coil, ICM, dustshield, etc. Go to slhondaparts.com to get an idea of how much that part is.
You can also pick up a Helms manual and troubleshoot the code according to it. This would mean you need the manual and a multimeter.

I checked with the dealer and they told me that the only sensor they have is the Crankshaft sensor, that they couldnt find any CYP sensor or anything like that that goes inside the distributor. do you think is the Crankshaft sensor?

As I said, IF the sensor is bad, you have to replace the WHOLE distributor sub-assembly. This sub-assembly contains that sensor which is why the dealer couldn't find it - it doesn't exist as a seperate item. The crankshaft flucuation sensor IS available as a seperate item and is located down by the oil pump but has a different code altogether.
