remove the plug unscrew the bolts and put back the way you remove it .
Depending on what car you have, the crank angle sensor is normally located behind your harmonic balancer, or somewhere close to the crank. To remove the harmonic balancer you'll first need to remove the drive belt then remove the bolts holding on the harmonic balancer. It won't usually come off easily so it'll need some persuasion with a few light taps from a hammer, or in severe cases a bearing puller. Once the balancer is removed access to the crank angle sensor is very easy. All you need to do is interchange the busted sensor for a new one.

∙ 8y agoThis could be your problem and how to check it out.
I have Had the same problem as you and i have a S-10 1997 truck. Unfortuanly it was not a sensor. The connecting bearing spun in the engine, until it was small metal chips, then they get suck into the oil pumps screen, and you loose oil pressure or have pressure when motor starts for a few second's, the engine makes a knocking sound and does not run smooth at all.
How to check if it is a spun bearing very simple dran the oil out of your truck Check the Bolt that you took out of the oil pan and see if there are small metal flaks stuck to it, also look up in the oil pan bolt hole to see if you see large metal pieces there. I have a repair manual and a owners manual for the S-10 and it does not list a crank case sensor.
What can cause this problem is a long time between oil changes, that is what happend to me.

∙ 15y agoI just done my 2001 2.0 td its on top of the bell housing pointing down at the flywheel. I had to get it on a car lift and drop the gearbox cross member to give me enough room to get my hand up the right side of the bell housing, there is a 10mm bolt to the left hand side of it undo the bolt a couple off turns leaving the bolt in its threaded hole then turn the sensor anticlockwise then it should lift up and out. P.S. Dont try this on your drive!

Break, as in come apart in several pieces or the outside ring came loose from the center. In the first case if there was no damage to it then a bad casting would probably be the cause. In the second case, over reving or dumping the clutch could be the cause.
What is wrong with the Oldsmobile Intigue when it cuts off while your driving but it starts back up with no problem?
May be a defective ignition control module, or coilpack. I had a bad ignition switch that was cutting power to the fuel pump, when it does this listen for the fuel pump to come on before restarting. I have a 2000 Intrigue. I had the same problem and it was a crank case sensor. You might get a cheap fuel pressure gauge and hook it up. See what the fuel pressure reads when the engine dies (do this in the driveway). If the pressure is dying, try a new fuel filter. Answer Ignition switch

Would a defective crank position sensor cause a 1997 Dodge Caravan not to start?
It is possible, but not guaranteed in every case. The crank position sensor is a little bit redundant, since there are other sensors available to the engine's control module, which could give it essentially the same data required for the engine to start and run. Regardless, if the crank position sensor is found to be defective, it should be replaced.
