Crankshaft Sensors

==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.

I have had 2 subaru wagons that damaged the keyway when the outer pulley spun free. I figured out a way to fix it. First, only the outer part of the keyway on the crankshaft was damaged. The inner timing belt sprocket was still locked on to the crankshaft. Pull the sprocket off and take it with the pulley to a machine shop. There are two holes in the crankshaft sprocket. Have the machine shop drill (after lining it up with the pulley) through the two holes -through the pulley. Then have him install (you supply) two expansion pins(like the ones holding the inner part of the cv joint to the transmission. They come in different sizes-get one that will squeeze through when compressed. They(when compressed and inserted) will hold the sprocket to the pulley. They will lock on the crankshaft using the inner part of the keyway. When installing you will need to cut the timing cover in half (center section only)-also the lips around the circular part of the cover. The outer part of the keyway you can fix before install by coating a new key with vasoline and putting it in the slot. Then mix liquid weld and fill the damaged section. When dry the key should come out with a little help- tap. It should be free from adhesion due to the vasoline. Smooth the liquid weld to the shape of the crankshaft before it hardens. If you do it right-it will work. Both of mine work fine.

it can be different things but u can start checking with IAC or the fuel

changed camshaft and crankshaft sensors in 2005 toyota tacoma 6 clyinder and now it wont start any idea what to try next

It is in the distributor.

The camshaft position sensor on a 2002 Mitsubishi Gallant is located behind the rear camshaft bearing. It constantly updates the vehicle' computer about the status of the camshaft.

Trouble code P0339 means: Crankshaft position sensor "A" circuit intermittent

right below the continueum transfunctioner

on the 4G63 it runs off the cam-shaft. otherwise, it is behind the crankshaft pulley, an inductive bell and strobe setup.

The previious answer is true, but the 92 Dodge Stealth came with 3 engine options. The Base Model came with a SOHC 6G72, The ES and RT with a DOHC 6G72 and the RT/TT with a Twin Turbo DOHC 6G72. In answer to te question in 92 the crank sensor is run off the camshaft similar to the 4G63. It is located on the intake camshaft, of the rear head on the transmission or rear of the block

cam position sensor on a 2.3 quad 4 is on the end of the front camshaft housing, on the back of it, it is a round plug.

The crankshaft position sensor is at the rear of the engine where it joins with the transmission bellhousing. It is at the left (front) side, not far from the starter.

Same as other 3.8 engines. It is near the harmonic dampener on the bottom front of the engine.

is your car is a v6 2.7 it will be on the trans mission by the EGR

No, The pcm has to see a signal from the sensor

Yes

front of transmission.

That requires an engine SCANNER to do that.

left bank of motor on the bell housing

if you mean the brake light switch they are removed in diffrent ways, some you can unscrew , some have a c-clamp.

the crank sensor is located above the transmission by the flywheel.

you will have to take the front driver side wheel off to see it. it is in a very tight spot!!!

it has a 3 wire socket and a 10 m"m bolt.you may reach it front the top to maybe you can squeeze from the wheel side.

i just did it today.

but before check the vin # for the 8th digit, if it is an R then it's where i said.if it is something else it is in the back of the engine above the passenger side drive shaft input to the tranny.

good luck!!

were is the crankshaft sensor on

2005 mitsubishi lancer

It is on the backside of the block close to the oil filter. I just changed mine 2 days ago.

It is located on the rear of the motor, under the exhaust manifold. Be careful when taking it out, they have been known to break off in the hole, and then become a real pain to finish the repair..

They are located on the top of the engine opposite side of the engine belts and at the end of the double overhead cam. The are located inside black plastic housings, just look for the electrical leads going to them.

They rarely fail, if you are getting cam position sensor codes, make sure the timing belt hasn't slipped.
