Crankshaft position sensor

I need to know how to replace a crankshaft position sensor

    This is a pretty difficult job on this particular car. I'm pretty sure this car has a crankshaft pulley that requires a special puller to remove it before you can get access to the sensor to replace it. If you had the ability to fabricate the puller, which would probably be the only way to get one, you would not be asking how to change the sensor. Please, no offense intended, some things are just easier and cheaper to have done by a pro. A shop really shouldn't charge much more than an hour to do this job.

You will have to pull the harmonic balancer to change this,You can use A standard puller but you have to have specific bolts to go through the elongated holes and thread into the backplate.A snapon puller and a mack puller usually come with the correct bolts! Good luck

Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.0L engine 91154g20.gif
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.3L and 3.8L engines 91154g21.gif
NOTE: On the 2.4L engine, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the engine block behind the alternator, just above the oil filter. On the 3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the transaxle housing, above the vehicle speed sensor.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
  4. Unfasten the sensor mounting screw, then remove the sensor from the vehicle by pulling it straight out.

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located to the left of the crankshaft pulley.
