Hi, I need to know the location for the crankshaft sensor. I change the 2 camshaft sensors behind the engine already but not sure where the crankshaft one is located on the vehicle listed above.

Hello, the crankshaft position sensor is located on the driver side lower down next to the oil pan. I will post a diagram, but facing the vehicle it will be on your right side, you will probably have to look under the vehicle to see it. It has a 3-wire connector,
The green in the 2nd diagram is the oil pan for reference to where the sensor is located. This is a Hall Effect sensor so it should have 12-volts on the red wire for a power feed.
