Front cover just above the crank pulley, behind the crank sensor, 1 wire light grey plug.
http://autorepair.about.com/library/illustrations/bl331a-lib.htmIt's a black sensor located on the bell housing of the transmission. It has one plug in to it. Known as the crank position sensor.
The 95 models did not use or have a crank sensor. If you are not getting any fire at the plug wires, then you probley need to replace the ignition module that is inside of the distributor.
car will not start if the crank shaft positing sensor is bad ..because it control the car spark plug firing..( no fire no start )
Perhaps a blown fuel pump. Take a plug wire out and use a spare plug and set it on a piece of metal and crank it and look for the spark. This will eliminate an ignition problem.
If you have to crank and crank to get it started look for the coolant temperature sensor and change it. This is just one reason for hard start and is the most popular reason. Other reasons could be plugs, plug wires, coil pack, crank sensor, cam sensor and more.
If you have a 2.2 engine ( 4 cyl. ) it is located under the ignition module at the back of the engine . Follow the plug wires to the coils, under the coils is the module under that is the crank sensor.
The crank sensor is located on the back engine wall in the middle, just under the two coil packs (from where the spark plug wires come). There is a wire harness from the crank sensor to the module which holds the two coil pack. The crank sensor is held into the engine by a single bolt. To see all of this, you have to go under the car. I am having an intermittent no start problem with my 93 Cavalier (it cranks, but no spark at all) and I think the crank sensor is my problem.
The crank shaft sensor is on the bell housing of the trans, buy a new one and look for the plug end that looks alike. also if u are looking for the cam positioning sensor it is on the left side of the engine coming out of the valve cover.
It is located almost adjacent to the oil filter and right beside the transmission bellhousing. The plug is located beside knock sensor plug attached to the motor mount.
No. It's just plug in and go.
A faulty crank sensor would cause none of the plugs and injectors to work. Without an input signal from the crank sensor the brain will not know how to time it's signals. Most are designed not to attempt to function without the sensors signal.
