I had a '87 3.8... the 3.8 V6 is much the same for many years, I think this is what you mean?
Anyway, the sensor is on the accessory end of the engine, located just above the large crankshaft pulley at the bottom of the motor. It is not easy to see.
The sensor is held in with one bolt and has two wires coming out of it.
If I recall, the fastening is adjustable for gap between the sensor and crank reluctor.
if it has a crankshaft sensor that's bad
A faulty crank sensor can do that.
The 2.8 engine doesn't use a cam sensor.

Lack of lubrication perhaps?
Freon valve on my 1989 Buick Regal Custom 3.1 V-6 located on driver side under the area of battery tray. Hope this helps!
I think you mean CAMSHAFT position sensor.
Gm. did not use a crank shaft sensor in 1988, It had a distributor that done everything.
