I just need to find the exact location of the crankshaft position sensor on the car listed above LT model with a 2.4l Ecotech engine.

You will need to remove the starter before you can get to the crankshaft sensor so disconnect the battery before you begin, also the sensor will need to have the relearn procedure before the engine will start. The sensor is on the lower part of the engine block on the left side back by the bell housing of the transmission. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Thank you for the answer. Now I replaced the sensor and done the relearn procedure and all is as it should be.
