A 1986 Ford van does not a crank shaft position sensor,, it uses the pickup in the distributer
It is not the Crankshaft Positioning Sensor, Idle adjustment sensor, Battery, wiring, ignition modules or plugs.
I was told it is on the top to the bell housing
Using a scanner with a scope, you can view the output wave of the sensor as you crank the engine.
It does not have one. Crankshaft position sensors are used in distributorless ignition systems to tell the ignition control module where the crankshaft is in its rotation. The 1982 thru 1986 2.8L engines had distributors so they had no need of a crankshaft position sensor.

Just downstream after the exhaust manifold

V6 crank position sensorThe crank position sensor is part of the distributor on a V6 All Fieros equipped with a distributor (1984 - 1986 4-cyl and 1985 to 1988 V6) have the crank sensor inside the distributor. It may also be known as a distributor pickup or HEI pickup.Fieros with DIS (1987 to 1988 4 cylinder) have a crank sensor on the back side (engine side) of the ignition module extending into the engine block. The ignition module is the flat base that the ignition coils are attached to.
most Chevy cps's are located in the timing cover(behind the balancer). I'm not certain on the Celebrity, but it would be a good place to check.AnswerOn my 1986 Celebrity 2.5, it is beneath the intake manifold on the back of the engine.
O2 sensors are located in the manifolds & front pipes
