How to replace the crankshaft position sensor lincoln ls

Assuming you actually meant a Lincoln LS, the Camshaft Position Sensor is located on the front of the engine, just below the driver's side (in US) valve cover gasket. The crankshaft position sensor is located near the front passenger side of the engine block, a bit above where the alternator is mounted. Be aware though that both of these sensors, if bad, would provide very different symptoms. Is there a particular symptom you are trying to solve through replacing these?

Are there any additonal codes being thrown for a misfire? Coils and plugs would be a likely culprit knowing this car

This is probably not the camshaft sensor so much as the CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. You may want to run the codes on the car and make sure of what it is returning. You can have this done at most auto parts stores, for free.

PROBLEM COULD BE THE IGNITION MODULE,BUT CODE SCAN FOR FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR DONT KEEP SPENDING MONEY.

Hello




CAUTION:Rotating the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction may cause engine damage. Crankshaft journals are directionally machined. Rotating the crankshaft counterclockwise can raise burrs on bearing surfaces, reducing engine life. Verify that the crankshaft keyway is in the nine o'clock position.



CAUTION:The crankshaft keyway must remain in the nine o'clock position until the cams are located, or damage to the valves may occur. Rotate the LH and RH intake and exhaust camshafts to locate them in their neutral positions.
