Ok if it's the 2-valve 4.6 it's located on the front end of the left head. If it's the 3-valve one on each side. If it's the 3.5-3.7 or the 5.0 it will be located at the rear of the heads one is behind heat shield. An if you have the 6.2 it will be behind the intake manifold

• location is normally on lower pulley or on side of crankshaft on block

Description & Operation

2.5L Engines
On the 2.5L 4cylinder engine the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located in the distributor.
The sensor contains a Hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects a rotating pulse ring (shutter) on the distributor shaft. The pulse ring rotates 180 degrees through the sync signal generator. Its signal is used in conjunction with the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the pulse ring (shutter) enters the sync signal generator, the following occurs: The interruption of magnetic field causes the voltage to switch high resulting in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts. When the trailing edge of the pulse ring (shutter) leaves the sync signal generator, the following occurs: The change of the magnetic field causes the sync signal voltage to switch low to 0 volts. 4.0L

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.0L 6cylinder engine is bolted to the top of the oil pump drive shaft assembly. The sensor and drive shaft assembly is located on the right side of the engine near the oil filter.
The CMP sensor contains a Hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects a rotating pulse ring (shutter) on the oil pump drive shaft. The pulse ring rotates 180 degrees through the sync signal generator. Its signal is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L V8 engine is bolted to the front/top of the right cylinder head.
The CMP sensor contains a Hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tone wheel. The tone wheel is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head. As the tone wheel rotates, the notches pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3 notches, 2 notches 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from 5.7L V8 Engines

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.7L V-8 engine is located below the generator on the timing chain / case cover on the right/front side of engine.

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tone wheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tone wheel rotates, notches (3) pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts). When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately 0.3 voltsthe CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinderse pulse ring (shutter) leaves the sync signal generator, the following occurs: The change of the magnetic field causes the sync signal voltage to switch low to 0 volts

Hello sam adamzz: My name is Roger and I will help you. You can locate the crankshaft position sensor in the transmission bell housing. Standing at the driver side fender. Look at the back af the engine where the transmission and block meet. Just to the right of the block edge mounted in the bell housing you should see a round sensor with a wire lead out of it. This should be the sensor you want. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

The crankshaft position sensor is located around the crank. Look for a stubby piece of plastic aimed at the edge of the crank pulley. The crank pulley is in central pulley which all the belts are ultimately driven from. It will be in the center-line & bottom of the front of the engine. Typically they are ~45deg off to a side. It's possible you may not be able to remove it without first removing the crank pulley.

Hi!!

here are illustrations of the CKP (crankshaft position) sensor in 2.3L and 3.0L.

Note: In the bottom of the 2.3L drawing says Trottle Position (TP) Sensor, this is wrong, It should say CKP Sensor.


2.3L Engine


The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located to the left of the crankshaft pulley.

Fig. Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor location-2.3L engine


3.0L Engine


The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located just behind the crankshaft pulley on engine block.

The cost of the sensor is $23 bucks at AutoZone.

4.7L
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted into the right-rear side of the engine block.

5.2L & 5.9L
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located near the outer edge of the flywheel (starter ring gear).

3.9L, 5.2L & 5.9L

1. Remove right front tire and right front wheelhouse liner.
2. Disconnect crankshaft position sensor pigtail harness from main wiring harness.
3. Remove two sensor (recessed hex head) mounting bolts.
4. Remove sensor from engine.

4.7L

1. Disconnect CKP electrical connector at sensor.
2. Remove CKP mounting bolt.
3. Carefully twist sensor from cylinder block.
4. Remove sensor from vehicle.
5. Check condition of sensor O-ring.

4.0L
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted to the transmission bellhousing at the left/rear side of the engine block. Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing. The sensor is a Hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a certain distance from it.
On 4.0L 6-cylinder engines, the flywheel/drive plate has 3 sets of four notches at its outer edge. The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input to the PCM. For each engine revolution there are 3 sets of four pulses generated.
The trailing edge of the fourth notch, which causes the pulse, is four degrees before top dead center (TDC) of the corresponding piston. The engine will not operate if the PCM does not receive a crankshaft position sensor input.
