The location of the crankshaft position sensor depends on which engine the car has.
If it is the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine the crankshaft position sensor is behind the ignition module.
If it is the 2.8L V6 engine the crankshaft position sensor is on the side of the engine nearest the firewall and just above the pan rail in about the center of the block.
No, the 1983 model does not have a crankshaft position sensor. Only distributorless engine needs a crankshaft position sensor.
The crankshaft position sensor on a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity is on the side of the engine nearest the firewall. I need to know which engine to give a more specific answer.
The Crankshaft sensor is located behind the Harmonic Balancer on the front-passenger side
It on the back of the coil packs going into the side of the block.
On a 1987 to 1990 Celebrity with 2.8/3.1L engine the crankshaft position sensor is on the side of the block beneath the exhaust manifold on the firewall side of the engine.
The crankshaft position sensor is located on the lower engine block beneath the exhaust manifold on the firewall side of the engine.
On the 2.8 V6 engine the crankshaft position sensor is near the bottom center of the block on the side nearest the firewall. On the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine the crankshaft position sensor is behind the ignition module below the intake manifold.
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.
You can replace the ignition control module and the crankshaft position sensor as required.
First make sure it's actually a 88 and not a 87. On a 87 it has two sensors on the bellhousing, the one on the engine is diagnotic only. On a 88 it has a sensor either above the A/C compressor or the alternator.
Yes,either above the A/C compressor or the altrnator(front of engine)
The crankshaft sensor is by the crankshaft pullie (the balancer)
