Where is the DRL sensor

There isn't a "sensor" per say. The DRL's are controlled by a microprocessor on the instrument cluster. The processor looks for a voltage drop on the ground side of the headlamp circuit. If it see's voltage it will ground the DRL relay.

The DRL relay is under/behind the drivers side headlamp assembly. It will have two orange, black, blue, and green w/ black wires at the connector.

I have 97 Pontiac sun fire runs for 15 min then die will not start for about 15min after that

Fuel pump going out. Once it gets warm after 15 mins the o rings loosen up and cause it to loose prime and shut off. After cooling for 15 mins they have shrunk enough to build pressure again.

Rear electrical

Check the fuses first. Either probe each fuse with a test light, or remove each one and physically check them. Physically check the wires going back. Test light them as well for power Check the gounds with the test light. If all are okay, then I would look t replace the turn signal multifunction switch. Let us know what you get in results so we can share our experiences. Thank you.

How do I change the signal light flasher on a 1997 pontiac sunfire

Should be located on the fuse block under dash. Simple pull out and push in new one. Buy a new one first in you don't know what it looks like. Note: there are two similar parts; one for 4 way hazard lamps, one for turn signals.

It feels like the clutch may be going out

you may have a hydrolic clutch .. check for a master cylinder similar to the brake master cyclinder near the clutch pdl .. it may be low on fluid .. .. i am assuming you meant that the clutch had to be near the floor before DISengaging .. if its a mechanical hookup instead then there is an adjustment for that (free pedal adj)

if the adjustment is out of range then you could have a bad throwout bearing .. but usually they make noise when the go bad ..

My headlights stay on even when key removed but the turn signals still work

You might have a bad ignition switch. Do the other accessory power features stay on too? Eg .... Radio, blower fan... Do the turn signals still operate when key is removed? But a bad multifunction switch (turn signal, headlight switch) coukd also be bad.

Severe oil leak

It could be a bad oil pressure sending unit, valve cover gasket, timing chain cover gasket or oil pan gasket. If there's white smoke coming out of the exhaust it could have a blown head gasket but it's not a common problem with that engine.
