It is above and behind the Alternator on the top. It looks like a "D" battery standing-up with a female pigtail hook-up on the top of it.

SOURCE: Where is the crankshaft position

It is stuck in bellhousing of the transmission near the rear head. The new crank sensor will come with a piece of gasket paper on the end of the sensor. Install the sensor all the way in against the pick-up wheel. When you crank the engine the wheel will rip off the paper and the adjustment will be correct.

SOURCE: engine stopped while driving chk eng light on,

A crank-no start condition can definitely be caused by a faulty crank sensor; if after testing the crank sensor and finding it defective you will need to clear the codes and drive for at least a couple of drive cycles to see if the emission codes are legitimate or were simply induced by the failure of the crank sensor.

2005 Malibu max turns over brand new coil but has no spark still also checked all plugs and everything is plugged in also checked power in plug to the coil and it has power in one port

Is the PCM - engine computer controlling ( turning on ) the coils ? What engine ? 2.2 or 3.5 l Videos on youtube on crankshaft position sensor testing . Does the vehicle have a Tach , when cranking engine does it move ? If not could be a bad crank sensor . If the PCM doesn't see an input from the crank sensor it won't turn on the coils

DTC P0651: 5-Volt Reference 2 Circuit
You have a bad sensor or a short on the five ref. circuit .
The 5-volt reference 2 buss provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
?€¢
The APP sensor 1

?€¢
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor

?€¢
The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2

?€¢
The brake booster vacuum sensor

A bad sensor or short on the five volt ref. circuit will bring down the PCM and you will have a no start . I would pull the connectors off each of these sensors listed above to see if five volt ref. comes back to five volts . Well first check five volt ref at easiest sensor to get to . watch this video , he explains better !

I have a 2003 chevy malibu with 90,000 miles. i took it in for maintenance and the mechanic said that it was showing trouble code p0341. he said it was the cam sensor. yesterday when i went to start it, it...

if the cam sensor is bad, it will definitely not start. The cam shaft position sensor's function is: the engine speed and crankshaft position information is supplied frome a sensor which is usually situated at the front or rear of the crankshaft. note that distributor-located engine speed sensor are generally being replaced with crank shaft-located sensors,as worn disributor drives and associated components can effect the accuracy of the engine speed signal.

A camshaft position sensor,or cylinder identification sensor is used to determin the engine cycle position the information is used to provide individual cylinder ignition and injection cotrol.Many engine mangement systems use an inductive type of sensor that is located near the camshaft;when the camshaft rotates a single signal is passed to the ECU to indicate a reference point in the engine cycle

Where is the crank sensor located on a 2000 grand cherokee limited 4.0?

4.0L
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted to the transmission bellhousing at the left/rear side of the engine block. Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor. The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing. The sensor is a Hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a certain distance from it.
On 4.0L 6-cylinder engines, the flywheel/drive plate has 3 sets of four notches at its outer edge. The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input to the PCM. For each engine revolution there are 3 sets of four pulses generated.
The trailing edge of the fourth notch, which causes the pulse, is four degrees before top dead center (TDC) of the corresponding piston. The engine will not operate if the PCM does not receive a crankshaft position sensor input.

This is a photo of the bell housing on the transmission:

Its not unusual for the crankshaft sensor to intermittanly fail. The crank sensors are not real expensive and are not extremely hard to change.
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is mounted into the engine block above the starter motor. Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the crankshaft position sensor.
