Follow this link to a diagram that will show you where it's located. Hope this helps.

Only has one crankshaft position sensor ,an cam sensors . To change the crank sensor u would have to pull the starter ,located above starter .

After a crank sensor replacement a
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn has to be done !
Important: The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn procedure is required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set:
?€¢
Engine replacement

?€¢
Engine control module (ECM) replacement

?€¢
Crankshaft damper replacement

?€¢
Crankshaft replacement

?€¢
CKP sensor replacement

?€¢
Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to CKP sensor relationship

Important: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to continue with the CKP system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
?€¢
CKP sensor activity--If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.

?€¢
Camshaft position (CMP) signal activity--If there is a CMP signal condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.

?€¢
Engine coolant temperature (ECT)--If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.

P1335 CHEVROLET P1335 CHEVROLET - Crankshaft Position Circuit Possible causes
- Faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor harness is open or shorted
- Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor circuit poor electrical connection Help with this
Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Lack/Loss of Power
- Engine Stall
P1335 CHEVROLET Description
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor sends pulses to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) as the reluctor wheel teeth rotate past the CKP sensor. The PCM uses the CKP pulses to synchronize the ignition and fuel injector operation, and to time the interval between each CKP pulse. The PCM determines when an excessive change in crankshaft speed occurs by comparing each new time interval with the previous interval. A misfire causes an unexpected change in the crankshaft speed. A certain amount of acceleration/deceleration is expected between each firing stroke, but if the crankshaft speed changes more than an expected amount, the PCM interprets this as a misfire. The interval between CKP sensor pulses is extremely small. At high engine speeds, slight variations in the following components make misfire detection difficult:
- Crankshaft
- Reluctor wheel
- CKP sensor
The PCM learns variations during the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure. The PCM compensates for these variations when performing detect misfire calculations. Only a scan tool can command the PCM to perform the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure again.
Perform the learning procedure after the following actions:
- A PCM replacement
- Any operation or repair involving the crankshaft, the CKP sensor, or the CKP sensor to reluctor wheel gap relationship.
- An engine replacement.
- The ignition switch is in the ON position until the battery is drained.

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.

Fig. Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor location-3.0L engine

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

If helpful, click below

It mounts in the side of the block near the crankshaft,it fits in a hole,going into the engine block.,look on the inside of the engine compartment ,on the firewall side,left of the pulleys,down low.

1990 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L TBI 4cyl
The Crankshaft Position Sensor is located under hood, center, rear engine area, below ingnition coil pack and DIS module, mounted in engine block.



Fig. 1: View of the CKP sensor-to-crankshaft reluctor relationship

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
A magnetic crankshaft sensor (Hall Effect switch) is used which is remotely mounted on the opposite side of the engine from the DIS/IC module. The sensor protrudes in to the engine block, within about 0.050 in. (1.27mm) of the crankshaft reluctor.

I really hope help you wuth this (rated this help). have a nice day, good luck.
