Crankshaft position sensor

Hi Rusty, There's two links below showing the position of 2005 Ford Explorer Crankshaft Position Sensor and the 2008 ford edge camshaft sensor location. It seems like they're all in the same position, I hope this helps.....CHEERS

2005 Ford Explorer Crankshaft Position Sensor Location

2008 ford edge camshaft sensor location

What engine? 3.0 DOHC 3.0 OHV 3.8 liter

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

The crank sensor for the 3.0 engine is in the block near the crank pulley. The 3.8 may be different.

Its located in the front of the engine mounted to the timing cover near the crankshaft pulley.

Operation

Specific to:
Ford Taurus 2008-2009
Mercury Sable 2008-2009
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor is a permanent magnet output coil device that monitors the speed and position of the crankshaft. A reluctor is attached directly to the crankshaft, and is used to generate a constant signal as it passes the CKP sensor magnetic coil. The CKP Sensor utilizes system voltage (12 volts DC), or reference voltage (5 volts DC) to generate a digital output signal to the PCM that is based upon a 0.5 volt AC reference. The alternating magnetic field is used by the sensor output electronics to produce a digital pulse. The CKP sensor returns a digital ON/OFF signal pulse during each revolution of the crankshaft, with a momentary signal interrupt for the top dead center (TDC) position of the #1 cylinder. The Pulse Width Modulation pattern is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to calculate ignition timing, fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics, and the tachometer display

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR LOCATION IS ON LOWER FRONT TIMING COVER.NEXT TO CRANKSHAFT PULLEY.

where do i find this sensor

sensor is located above crank pulley on passenger front

Crankshaft position sensor mounting 3.0L 2V engine

Crankshaft position sensor mounting 3.4L SHO engine

it is located on the right side of the motor, in the trans area. Actually in the bell housing.
