crankshaft position sensor location and replacement?

You car has a crankshaft position sensor on the lower side of the block. Check out the diagrams (Below) for the location. There are both engine in the diagrams below just in case someone needs it. Please let us know what happens.

the problem is its not starting. it turns over but wont start. it has spark and the fuel pump is working. what happened was i was driving and the truck just died did this once before and i got the truck towed home and after doing nothing it started and never found the problem fast forward a month and it happened again.

Check the fuel pressure if its within specs with a gauge and also check if the injectors are pulsing, also refer to this link: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-cranks-but-wont-start

a friend and i put the truck on a computer and came up with it possably being a MAP sensor what are your thoughts?

I don't think the MAP sensor will prevent it from starting-maybe cause it to run rich and burn more fuel and surging

Did you ever find out what was causing your issue? I'm going through the same thing now. Please let me know, I'm at a total loss here and have no idea what step to take next, except throwing countless dollars at it..

Thanks,

I am trying to chnage the crankshaft position sensor. I cannot located the old one. Several people has told me to check the top of the transmission , near the block , & back of the motor .Honestly , I have been search for this for 3 days & I cannot find. Could you please help me to located it? thank you

My friend, I don't think you have one-see below sensor listing for a 2.5L

Does my vehicle listed above even have a crank sensor? I've been looking for the location for days and cannot find it.

I am attaching the diagram out of the manual. Let us know if you need more information. Thanks

I can’t find the hole on the block for that sensor?

Have you removed the sensor? I am not understanding how there would be a hole if you haven't removed the old sensor.

Are you able to find the electrical connector? It should be hanging loose if there is no sensor in the engine

my crankshaft position sensor has damage to the plastic body where the wires go into the sensor and has about a 2 inch long crack in it, does this mean that the sensor is bad ??
I have read how to test the sensor and if it has low resistance to replace the camshaft sensor?? don't know if that is a type-o or not. I have already replaced the camshaft sensor and i still have no spark ??

Hi:
If the sensor is damaged, it will most likely be the problem. However, are you getting power to the coil? Also, if you remove the distributor cap and crank the engine, does the rotor spin?

on board computer gives a code 11 no crank sensor i would like to know where to locate sensor and can i test it with out computer

That engine doesn't actually have a Crank Sensor. The part that does the same job is the hall effect sensor inside thew distributor. The distributor has to be removed and completely disassembled to replace that. You would need a portable lab scope to test it.
