Best Answer

The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is located at the lower front of the engine on the engine front cover, also called the timing cover. Through a use of magnetic pulsation, the CKP sensor provides the PCM (control module) with a crankshaft position signal. The PCM uses that signal to determine the spark sequence (firing order) for each cylinder. It also uses the signal to precisely control ignition timing and calculate engine speed, etc. Hope that helps - and Blessings!

It might use ign. coil#1 or ign. coil #6 as a crank sensor, whichever is visibly slightly different from the other coils. If coil is suspect, replace coil and all 6 plugs.

Should be right behind and to the side of the crank pulley. You will see wiring going to a plug.
