Camshaft position sensor A bank 1 CKT for 2001 monte carlo ss

If you post the trouble code, it might help? 717 is the sensor, 539 front engine cover. 544 appears to be crankshaft pulley. The cam sensor has three wire connector. The cam sensor appears to be held on with bolt. As far as more info concerning removal, I'd have to look at the vehicle. That's all the info, I have. good luck.

We have a 1996 3.1 monte carlo ls we need to replace the crankshaft senor but we cant find it on the motor is there a picture of where one could be

The crankshaft position sensor is a two pin sensor made up of plastic like material. It is located on the back side of the engine block about half way between the oil pan and the top of the block. It can only be accessed by crawling under the car. 33899bbd-15f1-451a-9a7a-a94f8be62e27.png

My 2001 Monte Carlo ss won't stay running

I would need more information to give you a good answer. I need to know how long will it stay running a few seconds an hour what is it. I had a 2000 blazer that would start fine everyday and i would 10 minutes and it died sometimes i drove an hour and it died. I parked it and everytime i started it would run about 10-15 minutes and die. after it would die i would check fuel pressure which was good and spark. Well turns out there's no spark so i changed coil ,plugs, wires, rotor. I finally changed the crankshaft positioning sensor and that tuned out to be the problem so good luck.

If you are driving the car and it wont start after driving awhile. Do a wiggle on the CKP (crank position sensor) this sensor is located at the front main engine pulley, I am seeing a lot of loose male to female connection shut car off.

2001 monte carlo ss. has heat but heat gauge does not work and cooling fans do not cycle just keep running

Hi, check the connection on your temperature sensor. If the connection is good, replace the sensor. The cost is about $11 at autozone. The sensor is located at the back of the engine, near the transmission. See pictures below. Use some water pump sealant on the threads when installing the new sensor. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

My rpm is going crazy

Either the gauge is defective, the sensor at the distributor, or the computer module.

Could be a loose wire any where in the chain between the sensor and the gauge.
