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 is the crankshaft position sensor on a 1997 mercury villager?

Where is the crankshaft sensor on a citroen synergie?
The crank sensor is located on the top of the bell housing-=although its difficult to see--and looks down onto the top of the flywheel--it is actually in a bit of a niche-so a bit tricky to get a socket on --or your hands in--and its on the "backside "of the engine--best to look for the wire to it and trace it with that--to get to it requires--or it did in my case--a 2.0 petrol one--spending 5 minutes removing the air filter box first--I still got torn to pieces as its awkward rather than difficult --hope this helps

What is the crank sensor in Volvo 740 turbo 1989?
I am not familiar with your particular make and model of vehicle, but that's not critical as most vehicles today use a crank sensor, or a similar device. Because of my lack of familiarity, this answer will be generic in nature, until an expert on your vehicle can improve this answer. In order for the engine management computer to function, it HAS to know the revolutions per minute at which the engine is running, and it has to know which piston [particualrly #1] is in what position [i.e., intake, compression, power, or exhaust stroke]. Most crankshaft position sensors are combination optical and electrical/electronic devices, meaning that the device senses the passing of a visible mark on the crankshaft pulley, and electrically sends that info to the computer. There is another type of sensor that instead of optically sensing, records the passing of small magnet. These devices usually use a magnetically sensitive transistor [I think it's called a "Hall effect" transistor. Regardless of the details, a "crank sensor" senses the rate of rotation of the crankshaft [thus the RPM], AND senses the position of the pistons. It electrically sends that info to the engine management computer so it can determine many factors of engine running status, and make necessary adjustments [amount of fuel, fuel mixture, ignition timing, and many more]. Until an expert can correct/improve this answer, I hope I will give you a basic understanding.

I got the same code. Broke down and bought the manual. From what I undestand, .. Bank one is the engine side with cylinder #1 (plug wire #1) and bank two will be the other side. Sensor one is between the engine and the cataltic converter. #2 is after the converter. I just got the truck from son#2 so I'm not really sure if cylinder 1 is drivers or passengers side yet. s'pose I'll have to go look. Oh yeah, DON'T get a Chiltons manual... really poorly done. Should have gone with the Haynes. Oh well.

Where is the crankshaft sensor on a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee lorado?
It is near the top of the transmission bell housing just to the left of centerline. You will need to unbolt it from underneath using a 7/16" socket on a long extension. Before doing so, set the parking brake and disconnect the transmission shifter linkage. Do this from underneath the truck. Do not even try it if you are obese.
Where is cmp and ckp located on 3.9?
On my GMC V6 Sierra, the Crankshaft Position sensor ( CKP) is located on the front crank shaft cover, right side. The Camshaft Position sensor (CMP) is located under the rotor in the distrbutor. I have to replace both I think, but don't know until I take a look at both. I suspect the one under the rotor is loose. Truck runs great one day and like bad the next. Henry
On a Dodge 3.9L the crank sensor (ckp) is behind the passenger side cylinder head in the top of the bell housing. The cam sensor (cmp) is inside the distributor, under the rotor.
