Looking from the front of the motor it is turning clockwise, sitting in drivers seat it is counter-clockwise.
Inside the lower part of the engine. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft by way of rods. Here is a rough diagram.
The crankshaft positioning sensor is located between the engine and the transmission about one third way down looking from inside top of engine. It is not easy to find. You are looking for a connector wire with the sensor, it is bolted onto the transmission with a 10MM bolt.
Inside the lower part of the engine. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft by way of connecting rods. The crankshaft is what turns the flywheel, torque converter, transmission, and ultimately the drive wheels. Look of the top of the transmission bellhousing. Sorry, I thought you meant crank sensor. It is that main shaft the runs through the bottom of the engine block from the front to the back of the engine, and is connected to the pistons. You cannot see the crankshaft without taking the engine apart, but you can see the crankshaft pulley, which is the pulley that attaches to the front end of the crankshaft, and drives the serpentine belt, which drives all the accessories, like the alternator, power steering pump, etc. The crankshaft pulley is the very bottom pulley, when you look at the front of the engine.
Turn engine with a socket on the front crankshaft pulley.Turn engine with a socket on the front crankshaft pulley.
The crankshaft sensor in your 1990 former Roche is located on the front of the engine. The best way to test your crankshaft sensor is to hook the engine to a Dyno tester.
You have to remove the engine first from the car. Place it on an engine stand and work your way on removing the cranksaft. No way to remove it while the engine is in the car.
The crankshaft turns clockwise looking at it from the front.
the crank shaft is at the very bottom of your engine the quickest way to get to this is by removing the oil pan
The best way to find this out is with the users manual. You can use the diagram that is there to figure out the engine.
Counter clockwise as per normal.
It's between the engine and transmission. The only way to disconnect it from the crankshaft is to remove either the engine or transmission... or both.
It is on the firewall side on the of the transmission close to the engine about half way up.
