Needs crankshaft position sensor but I cant find it.Where is it and how do I get to it?

The role of the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position of the crankshaft, the crankshaft angle. It is usually with a camshaft position sensor work together - to determine the basic ignition timing. Car Diagnostic Tool

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.

The crank sensor is located on the engine near the flywheel axis of the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Removal & Installation To Remove:
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 2.4L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.0L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.3L and 3.8L engines
NOTE: On the 2.4L engine, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the engine block behind the alternator, just above the oil filter. On the 3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the transaxle housing, above the vehicle speed sensor.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
4. Unfasten the sensor mounting screw, then remove the sensor from the vehicle by pulling it straight out.

To Install:
NOTE: If the sensor removed is going to be re-installed, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A new spacer must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, be sure that a paper spacer is attached to the sensor face.

1. Install sensor and push the sensor in until contact is made. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the mounting bolt to 105 in. lbs. (12 Nm).
2. Connect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

you dont specify what make,the crank sensor sends refrence to the cam,coil before they will work they need pulse

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.

The crankshaft position sensor is located on the transmission bell housing on the right side (if you're facing the engine from the transmission side). The camshaft position sensor is towards the top center of the timing cover on the front of the motor. They both have 3 wire connectors that are virtually identical.
