==Answer 1 == Not having worked on your particular make and model, I can only give a generic answer, which GENERALLY APPLIES to most, if not all, automotive engines, and should help until an expert provides a more definitive answer. To the best of my knowledge, the only place where spinning motion of the crankshaft is observable and accessable is the CRANKSHAFT DAMPENER PULLEY which is mounted on the crankshaft at the "front" of the engine. On a transverse [crosswise] mounted engine, the front is considered the end that has the drive belt(s). Generally, the SENSOR size is usually no more than 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, and 1 to 2 inches in length, and it will have one or two wires attached. The sensor will be mounted on a metal bracket attached to the front of the engine, and very close to the CRANKSHAFT DAMPENER PULLEY. The bracket locates the sensor IN THE "PLANE" of the pulley, in other words, "looking" at the EDGE of the spinning pulley. I hope this helps, until someone else contributes a more specific answer.

Oh, dude, the crankshaft position sensor on a Pontiac Montana is typically located near the crankshaft pulley or the flywheel. It's like the detective of the engine, always keeping tabs on the crankshaft's position to make sure everything's running smoothly. So, if your Montana is acting up, maybe give the sensor a little pat on the back... or a diagnostic check, whatever works.
