Crankshaft Position Sensor

Two crankshaft position sensors .
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor (7X)
Lower rear of the engine block, below the exhaust manifold

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor (24X)
Right side of the engine, at the end of the crankshaft, behind the harmonic balancer

Did you do a
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn ?
The crankshaft position system (CKP) variation compensating values are stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) non-volatile memory after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position system variation is not within the crankshaft position system variation compensating values stored in the PCM, DTC P0300 may set, refer to Diagnostic Aids for DTC P0300 .
The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure should be performed if any of the following conditions are true:
• DTC P1336 is set
• The PCM has been replaced
• The engine has been replaced
• The crankshaft has been replaced
• The crankshaft harmonic balancer has been replaced
• The crankshaft position sensor has been replaced

The crankshaft sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer. There is a special tool you can rent/loan from your local auto parts store in order to remove the harmonic balancer. Once it is off 2 bolt hold the crankshaft position sensor in place. Note there could be many other factors causing your engine to stall or not restart; but those crank sensors do tend to go out on those engines.

Will it only crank with the starter shorted, and not with the key?

The crank sensor is located on the engine near the flywheel axis of the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Removal & Installation To Remove:
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 2.4L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.0L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.3L and 3.8L engines
NOTE: On the 2.4L engine, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the engine block behind the alternator, just above the oil filter. On the 3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the transaxle housing, above the vehicle speed sensor.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
4. Unfasten the sensor mounting screw, then remove the sensor from the vehicle by pulling it straight out.

To Install:
NOTE: If the sensor removed is going to be re-installed, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A new spacer must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, be sure that a paper spacer is attached to the sensor face.

1. Install sensor and push the sensor in until contact is made. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the mounting bolt to 105 in. lbs. (12 Nm).
2. Connect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

The crankshaft position sensor should be located behind the vibration damper/harmonic balancer and it will have to be removed before the crankshaft position sensor can be replaced. (Let me know if you require assistance with the proceedure)

Also, it usually requires a special tool to align that sensor (available from most auto part stores) and if the sensor is not properly aligned then damage to the sensor or the tone ring can occur.

Here is an image of the crankshaft position sensor with the vibration damper/harmonic balancer removed.

crankshaft position sensor is located behind the crank balancer (at the center of the engine behind the big pulley at the bottom)
That year has a special removal tool to pull the balancer.
