They are called a reluctor wheel and some are heated and pressed on, others are bolted on or held in place with dowel pins and then some fit on keyways. They attach to the crankshaft and rotate were as the sensor is attached to the housing and is stationary.

Pull #1 spark plug and rotate the engine until you hear air rush out of the cylinder, (plug the hole with your finger if you can), then look at the timing mark, it will be close to TDC

if you have never done one take it to a shop because if you have the timing off a little you take a chance of bending valves then you would need a new head

  4. Loosen the pinch bolt on the sensor pedestal until the sensor is free to slide.
  5. Remove the pedestal to the engine mounting bolts.
  6. While manipulating the sensor within the pedestal, carefully remove the sensor and pedestal as a unit. To install:
  7. Loosen the pinch bolt on the new sensor pedestal until the sensor is free to slide.
  8. Verify that the window in the interrupter is still in the correct place.
  9. Install the sensor and pedestal as a unit while making sure that the interrupter ring is aligned within the proper slot.
  10. Install the pedestal and tighten the engine mounting bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).

I have a 1990 Firebird 3.1 Crossfire fuel injection. The problem that I am having is that i am getting no injector singal to the injectors. I have checked fuses, checked fuel pressure, and fire on spark...
I believe this is a dis system.
it sounds like you have a bad crankshaft position sensor, the crank sensor is used by the pcm for fuel injector timing.

on this motor it is mounted behind the harmonic balancer, be carefull when removing the balancer because there thin metal plates indexed into the back of it, these plates are what initiate the crank shaft signal to the pcm.

good luck

Replacing 2004 cavalier crank sensor, i can't locate the best way to replace it. need a diagram or where i can find it.
The crankshaft position sensor should be located on a small metal bracket very close to the harmonic balancer which is attached to the end of the crankshaft. If you are having trouble locating the harmonic balancer, it is the lowest pulley on the passenger side of the engine, in the center line of the engine.
