This is for a friend's car(don't know the engine type or anything yet, I'll find out today if that matters for the location. Her car was stalling and I got my OBD II out to check what codes were coming up and we got the code P0339 which is a Faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor A. So I'm going to replace it but having trouble finding its location online. Videos are showing camshaft, pictures are of other models. Anyone help me out here? Thanks.
Might be where the fuel pump shaft is.
Parts stores have component location chart which may help.

Start with the simple and replace the fuel filter. The fuel filter should be replaced every 15,000 miles or once a year to ensure the fuel system is running 100%. Auto Zone will have the fuel filter and can give you the step by step instructions to getting the job done with common tools. If it's the fuel pump failure, you have not gotten the car restarted. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to know you got your car running 100% again soon and please rate.

OK check the CMP sensor connector for cleanliness, sometimes oil can get in and disrupt the signal transmission to the ECU. Check the wire loom continuity all the way back from the CMP to the ECU. If the error code persists remove the cam sensor, clean its tip of any debris and refit.
Testimonial: "Thanks joe2mercs...you had the problem diagnosed correctly. Cleaned and light has not come back on. U saved me a lot of $."
he CKP sensor, located on the engine front cover near the crankshaft pulley, is used to determine crankshaft position and crankshaft rpm. The sensor is a magnetic reluctance type which senses the passing of teeth on a tone wheel because the teeth disrupt the magnetic field of the sensor. This disruption creates a voltage fluctuation, which is monitored by the PCM.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors and Camshaft Positions (CMP) Sensors used on cars and trucks today come in all sorts of different shapes, sizes and configurations. All this variety might make you think that testing them is difficult and/or impossible. Well, nothing could be further from the truth since they can be easily tested with simple tools and testing techniques.

Crank Sensor is a Pick Up Coil type that produces an Analog Signal.
This article is a primer that will help you to learn and understand the essentials of testing the Crankshaft Position Sensor (Camshaft Position Sensors too). You'll learn basic working theory, do's and don'ts, what tools to use and how to test them, and a lot of other good stuff.
How to Tell Them Apart
Another thing that can make testing the CKP and CMP Sensors seem intimidating is the fact that every make and model rolling around on pavement uses a different type of Position Sensor. For example, the Ford truck your neighbor might be driving will have a Position Sensor(s) that is (are) completely different in appearance than your GM (or Chrysler, or Honda, or Nissan or Suzuki, etc.) vehicle.
Not only that, but these sensors are called by so many different names like: Hall Effect Sensor, CKP Sensor, CMP Sensor, Pickup Coil, Magnetic Pulse Generator, Variable Reluctor, and the list goes on with a few more names. This may make it seem like every single one is tested in a different way. Well, the good news is that although they all differ from one another physically and are called so many god-knows-what names, they can usually be generalized into two basic categories: 2 wire type and 3 wire type. And this means that you only have to learn two specific testing methods.
So, before we dive into the rest of the article, I want to emphasize that the key to successfully testing and diagnosing all of the different Crank Sensors (and Cam Sensors) out there, is to know if they are either a two or three wire type! Now in case you're wondering what I mean by two and three wire types... I'm referring to the amount of wires in their connector (of course there's always an exception to every rule, but more about this later). Alright, let's jump into the next subheading and let's start learning more about this.
What does a Crankshaft (Camshaft) Position Sensor Do?
I'll start by explaining the specific role that the Crank (and Cam) Sensor play in the Electronic Ignition System of your car or truck. This info applies to whatever make and model you may be driving, so whether it's a Ford, a Chevy, a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, a Nissan, a Honda, a Toyota, or whatever, this primer will help.
In a nutshell, the Crankshaft Position Sensor's job is to help: 1) the Ignition System produce Spark and 2) the Fuel System to start injecting gasoline into the cylinders. All this so that the vehicle's engine will start and stay running. More specifically, the CKP Sensor produces a signal that tells the Fuel Injection Computer or the Ignition Control Module the exact position of the cylinder pistons as they come up or go down in the compression cycle. With this information the Fuel Injection Computer or the Ignition Control Module knows the exact time it has to make the Ignition Coil or Ignition Coils spark (not to mention when to start injecting fuel into the cylinders). Lastly, this signal can be either an Analog Voltage Signal of a Digital DC Voltage Signal.
