I didn't know a crank had a sensor,but most sensors are tied into manifold and top of bell house NEW ANSWER: It is behind the starter.
One symptom of a bad crank shaft sensor is the car having trouble starting. The car stalling and backfiring are other symptoms of a bad crank shaft sensor.
There is only one crank sensor fitted, you may also have a cam sensor. the crank sensor is located either around the bellhousing or around the front crank pulley. It either has 2 or 3 wires. It picks the signal off the revolving crank so look for a sensor in the block near flywheel.
The starter solenoid is most likely bad if it will not crank over If it cranks over most likely crank sensor is bad how can you just say most likely the crank sensor? how the hell do you know it could be anything
MAP sensor going bad will cause that exact symptom, try unplugging the MAP sensor, if the vehicle will run with it unplugged then you know the MAP sensor is bad. My 88 Dodge Aries did the exact same thing.
The crank sensor is an important part of the engine wiring. Without it the engine does not know when to fire. There is no way to by pass it.
Dont know
No, the computer needs that sensor to know crank timing.
Need to know what size engine it has.
if your crank position sensor is bad you car or truck will not start because you will not have spark
You know the starter is going bad when you have a dragging starter.
You will have a no spark situation. Testing it with a volt meter is easy. Twist the crank shaft slowly by hand and watch volt meter. If there is voltage and no voltage the sensor is good. No readings sensor is bad
