Crankshaft Sensors
In an internal combustion engine, a crankshaft sensor is a component used to monitor the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft. The information provided by the sensor is used by the engine control unit to manipulate ignition system timing.

Where can you get a camshaft position sensor for a 2000 Daewoo Lanos?
GM is now importing parts for Daewoo's You can get one for $40 plus shipping Call 800 373 7273 Chevrolet's Aveo is the same drivetrain & transmission as a Daewoo Lanos. Order the sensor from any Chevy dealer --but expect a hassle. They will pry and pry about what the VIN number of your "Aveo" is. Tell them it is an '04 equipped with an E-Tech 1 engine. This earlier sensor will fit. The same thing happened to me. GM in North America does not offer parts for vehicles sold under the Daewoo brand name from 1999-2002. In Canada, the only authorized source for Genuine Daewoo parts is Solvit, 60 Esna Park Drive, Unit 5, Markham Ontario. Contact information is available on their website at www.solvit.ca. If you're in Canada, you can get 1 from the Canadian importer for Daewoo Parts - Solvit APC in Markham, Ontario - phone 905-947-8540, fax 289-333-0081, email parts@solvit-apc.ca

How do you change a crankshaft position sensor in a 98 Saturn SL2?
It's actually a relatively simple process, except that you'll probably need to remove the starter.
To get the full instructions, go to your local library and refer to a shop manual for the Saturn.
The sensor should just screw out and a new one is put in it's place. The electrical connection should be straightforward.
try replaceing your i a c valve. good luck.
What do you do when your car will crank but not start?
Cranks but won't start:
In a situation like that I always tell people to go back to the basics: Spark, fuel and Compression. If you have all three, it should start. The spark has to be at the correct timing, but if the vehicle was running and suddenly stopped, there isn't much reason to believe that the timing changed. The fuel has to be delivered in an approximately correct quantity for the engine to run right but it should at least pop and attempt to start. So... Start with fuel. Using starting fluid, spray in the throat of the throttle body while a friend attempts to start the engine. If the engine runs while you're spraying, you probably have a fuel problem. Check the fuel line for pressure. If you don't have any it's probably the fuel pump. It's in the tank and you'll have to drop the tank in a suburban to get to the fuel pump. It isn't as bad as it sounds. Disconnect the battery first. Siphon out as much as you can get easily, disconnect the fuel fill pipe from the tank, using a floor jack, support the tank while you remove the straps. There are usually only two. Once the straps are disconnected, lower the tank and remove the fuel line and the wires to operate the fuel pump and fuel gague. You'll have to clean the top of the tank so that you don't get debris inside, then remove the screws and work the pump assembly out of the tank. On the other hand... if you have fuel pressure and the engine doesn't start when you use the starter fluid, you probably have a problem with ignition. Pull one spark plug wire, then using a spare plug from some other source, attach the wire to the spare plug and lay the plug on a metal part of the engine, then crank the engine and watch the plug. If you have spark it might be something else. If there is no spark, find out why. It could be the pickup coil, electronic ignition module, high voltage coil or even a bad rotor in the distributor. It's all a process of elimination. Remember the words of Sherlock Holms, "When all other possibilities have been eliminated..."
Could be flooded (especially if carbureted), you could have a wire disconnected if you've been messing around under the hood, or there could be humidity in the distributor.
A common fault is the Crank Position Sensor (CPS).
This is an induction coil mounted just above the crank pulley.
If the tachometer does not register at all during cranking, the CPS has probably failed.
How can you change a camshaft position sensor on your Chevy astro van 1988?
Camshaft position is taken from the distributor, there is no separate sensor.
Where is the crankshaft position sensor on a 1993 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme 3.4?
the sensor is right in the front of the car down under the exhaust manifold on the right side of the ignition coil module. There are three bolts that hold the ignition coil module in place. One on the bottom and one on each side. When you detach it the three ignition coils will come off as well. Its just a small L shaped piece on the right. make sure you disconnect the battery before you start this operation. Good luck.
Where is the crankshaft sensor located on 1995 Dodge Ram van 1500?
Top of bell housing, behind the passenger side head.
Where is the crankshaft sensor on an 1988 dodge Dakota?
On 1988 Dakotas only 4 cylinder engines had crank position sensors. It should be mounted on the driver's side of the transmission bellhousing about midway up right where it bolts to the engine. It should be held on with two small bolts. Follow the exhaust downpipe and the wire to it.
Where is the cam position sensor on a 96 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 L vortex vin r?
It is under the distributor cap on the left side of it. That's while standing in front of the engine. It is bolted to the distributor plate and has an electrical wires pluged into it.
The electric wires on the right side of the distributor goes to the ignition module.( It's on the Rt. side standing in front of the motor. You do not have to pull the distributor.)

http://www.ford-trucks.com/article/idx/0/144/article/How_to_change_the_Camshaft_Position_Sensor_on_a_73_Power_Stroke_Diesel.html
Might be the timing belt broke,remove cap and see if rotor spins.
line up timing mark and see if rotor points to #1 plug wire on cap.
Where is the camshaft sensor located on the engine for a 2001 Audi a4 quattro 2.8?
Left rear head and right front head. Has one on each side.
If a crank sensor fails will the car not start?
no the car will not start there normally found on side of gear box.
What is the location of the crank sensor on a 1991 Buick Regal?
If your standing on Passenger side under hood it is under the harmonic balancer on the right side of engine. Im not for sure but i think you have to remove the balancer to get to it. If you look on the right side of the balancer you will see the plug it pertrudes out a little bit. That's just the plug the switch is inside there. Im having to replace mine now since I broke it trying to get the Balancer off.

From Todd
The sensor is halfway down the back side of the motor down low between the transmission and the engine
its held in place with a 8mil. bolt and there is so little room to reach in to get it
The easiest way is to find someone with small hands to reach it.
the only other way is to remove the trans
this is a lot of work the latter so try the way i did it first
lots of luck
i replace mine and still no injectors
i will check the computer and the smart module next
Problem was as shorted injector
found it and now its running but got a air intake leak
Where is crankshaft sensor located on 1992 Chevy lumina?
That year model did not use are have a crank sensor.
What is a crankshaft position sensor?
On modern engines with computer management there are various sensors to tell the computer exactly what the engine requires in the line of fuel, when to spark the coil/s and so on. The engine needs so fire the sparks at the correct time and also inject the fuel at the right time. So a sensor is fitted to pick up exactly at what degree of rotation the crank is. It is sometimes not even mounted near the crank but still called a crank angle sensor, it can even be in the distributor (Nissan and others) This is in the form of a disc with many tiny slots or holes in it and has a light emitting diode and a light sensing diode either side of the disc,as it turns the light is cut off and the computer detects this and can work out the position of the crankshaft. It can alo be in the form toothed disc much like a gear on the crank shaft or even use the flywheel to sense the position using a hall effect sensor to detect the positon of the flywheel or crankshaft pulley to determine exactly where the crank is positioned.
It is a sensor that tells the ecm where #1 cylinder is. They are located on different parts of the engine on different cars.
It reads the position and/or speed of an engine as it is rotating.
When crankshaft is turning, the sensor will provide a signal to the PCM. The PCM will then allow the engine to start by providing spark and fuel.
It reads the rotational position of the crankshaft
