The crankshaft sensor you are looking for is located on the passenger's side of the transmission housing, above the differential housing. The bottom of the sensor sits above the drive plate. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Your vehicle's crankshaft position sensor is located on the right side of the transmission housing.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.

If you have a 3.2L or 3.5L, it on the passanger's side of the transmission housing above the differential.

Let me know if this helps.

The computer coil driver tells the coil to fire the plugs.

Try this while cranking engine over listen to the injector/s are they clicking. Also when key is in On position do you hear the fuel pump. I need to know this before we continue
