Location of crankshaft sensor for a 1994 buick lesaber

SOURCE: Crankshaft Position Sensor

the dual crankshaft position sensor is secured in an aluminum mounting bracket and bolted to the left side of the timing chain cover, partially behind the crankshaft balancer, hope this helps get back to me if you need mre help. please rate my fix as i strive to be the best

On the 3800 V6, the camshaft position sensor is located behind the water pump pulley. if you were to look at pulley straight on, it is at about the 9 o"clock position. good-day!

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT

1. Serpentine belt from the crankshaft pulley.
2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
3. Right front tire and wheel assembly.
4. Right inner fender access cover.
5. Using a 28 mm socket, remove the crankshaft harmonic balancer retaining bolt.
6. Crankshaft harmonic balancer using tool J 38192 or equivalent.
7. Sensor electrical connector.
8. Foreign object deflector.
9. Sensor and pedestal from block face.
10. Sensor from pedestal.

1. Loosely install the crankshaft sensor on the pedestal.
2. Position the sensor with pedestal attached on special Tool J 37089.
3. Position the special tool on the crankshaft.
4. Bolts to hold the pedestal to the block face, torque to 20-40 Nm (14-28 lb.ft).
5. Torque the pedestal pinch bolt to 3-4 Nm (38-40 lb.in).
6. Remove special tool J 37089.
7. Place the special tool 37089 on the harmonic balancer and turn. If any vane of the harmonic balancer touches the tool, replace the balancer assembly.
8. Balancer on the crankshaft.

• Apply thread sealer (GM 1052080) or equivalent to the threads of the balancer bolt.

1. Torque the crankshaft bolt to 140 Nm + 56°(104 lb.ft + 56°).
2. Foreign object deflector.
3. Electrical connector.
4. Inner fender shield.
5. Tire and wheel assembly, torque to 140 Nm (104 lb.ft).
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Serpentine belt.

SOURCE: were is the starter enable relay located

It does not have one,check the fusible links on the starter and the neutral safety switch,and the ignition switch.

SOURCE: where is the crankshaft sensor on a 3.8L in a 97

Hi,
The sensor is located to the right of the crankshaft behind the vibration dampner (harmonic balancer). You will need a balancer puller and a special tool to space the new sensor correctly.
(can be done also with eye spacing, but the tool is recommended to ensure proper spacing as to prevent damage to new sensor and / or harmonic balancer.) You will also need a strap wrench to hold balancer pulley in place while removing and re-installing balancer to crankshaft bolt. (helper required)

Procedure for replacement:
Remove negative battery cable.
Set parking (emergency) brake.
Release tension on serpentine drive belt and remove belt from harmonic balancer pulley. ( large pulley at bottom of engine)
Break loose lug nuts on passenger side front tire, do not remove bolts yet.
Raise and support vehicle on passenger side, remove wheel.
Remove plastic splash guard (cover) from passenger side wheel well.
Remove dampner / balancer center retaining bolt (counterclockwise, it is torqued very tight.) Use a strap wrench around pulley and have a helper hold that in place while using a 1/2" breaker bar and socket to turn pulley bolt out of crankshaft. Be careful not to rotate engine in a counterclockwise direction while breaking the bolt loose.
Using balancer puller, remove dampner / balancer pulley from engine.
You will now see the crank sensor to the right of the crankshaft bolted to the timing cover.
Disconnect sensor wiring and remove retaining bolts, remove sensor.
Put new sensor in place and screw in bolts, do not tighten them yet.
Reconnect wiring to sensor.
Now use special tool to properly space sensor. If you cannot find one at the parts store, you can space the sensor with the balancer pully held in place (not installed yet) and space the sensor evenly with the veins on the hub of the balancer pulley. Take your time and be sure it is as evenly spaced as possible.
Tighten sensor bolts.
Clean balancer hub free of any oil and dirt deposits using brake or carbeurator cleaner.
Reinstall balancer to crankshaft by tapping around the inner surface of pulley with a rubber hammer.
It is a press fit, so be sure you have it started evenly and progress slowly in a circular motion to ensure you are keeping it aligned straight with the crankshaft.
Reinstall balancer bolt using the same method as removal, torque bolt to 110 foot pounds, then tap around balancer again twice with rubber hammer, turn the engine 2 full revolutions clockwise using the balancer to crankshaft bolt, then tighten bolt an additional 1/4 turn.
Replace splash guard, put wheel on tightening lugs to finger tight and then wrench tight in a star pattern.
Lower vehicle until wheel makes contact with floor, tighten lug nuts to 115 foot pounds in a star pattern using a torque wrench.
Fully lower vehicle, remove jack.
Re-install serpentine drive belt
Re-connect negative battery cable.

End of procedure....Hope that helps!.....Mike
