I can't tel where on the engine that is located It should be located to the right of the main crank pulley. Joined Oct 17, 2012 · 264 Posts
Discussion Starter · #6 · May 13, 2016 It should be located to the right of the main crank pulley. There are two sensors that look just like the picture. Are you talking about the one just behind the flywheel on the right side? Because there is another sensor identical to the crank sensor that is on the right but more towards the rear.

The "crankshaft" sensor is mounted on the passenger side of the engine back near the bell housing. Joined Oct 17, 2012 · 264 Posts

Ah so it's on the rear of the engine as compared to most engines it's in the front near the pully? I'm getting conflicting information on this when trying to get your question answered. I know a few techs and ran this by them. It seems that they are confusing the camshaft and crankshaft sensor. What I
was last told, is that you can contact your dealer with your VIN and they can lookup the part and it's exact location. I really wish I could be of further assistance. Please post back and let us know how you make out. Joined Oct 17, 2012 · 264 Posts

That's camshaft. I said crankshaft I'm attempting to assist you. Here is where the "crankshaft position sensor" is located. There's also a "camshaft position sensor". Now we both know where each one is located. It seems like the two terms are used interchangeably by us and techs at times as stated by dave.

Correct sensor. Confusing terminology. Joined Oct 17, 2012 · 264 Posts
Discussion Starter · #18 · May 13, 2016 Again it's crankshaft sensor not camshaft sensor. I know where the two camshaft sensors are located. I'm tryouts no to find the camshaft sensor. When I leave k under the engine on the passenger side there are multiple sensors that it could be. But it is only one of them. And they all look similar.

what you're saying , but I don't know what to tell you. The #4 location is the "Crankshaft Sensor" as indicated in the parts schematic and listed at $13.99. There is one Crankshaft Sensor. The Camshaft Sensor(S) is at the #12 location in the diagram at $39.88 each. There are two Camshaft Sensors listed as required for replacement. The diagram only indicates the #12 location. At this point I'm unable to be more specific as to location other than what's listed in the schematic. The #4 location for
the Crankshaft Sensor should be self explanatory since there's only one. If you need further assistance maybe the dealer can better help you. Good luck. Joined Jun 24, 2015 · 2,476 Posts

Because there is another sensor identical to the crank sensor that is on the right but more towards the rear. Doing a bit more research, I'm led to believe that the crankshaft
position sensor is at the rear of the engine. It should be the sensor near the bell housing and flywheel. Where is the crankshaft position sensor 2007 Jeep Wrangler?The crankshaft position sensor location is on the engine, especially where the transmission attaches to the block. It is connected to the transmission bell housing with two bolts.
