How to replace the Crank Position Sensor...?
How do i replace the crank position sensor? where is it located? Does it have any bearing on how my car will run? (i.e. a malfunctioning sensor causing the whole drivetrain to buck under load at low rpm). I really need help with this guys ... i dont want to send my motor to an early grave!
thanks...
thanks...

The only thing it does it monitor missfires. Haveing it nonfunctional wont send your car to an early grave. In fact mine is deleted out with LT1 edit.
It is located on the passenger side on the bottom of the timing cover.

acutally, i think its my MAP sensor - i unplugged my MAP sensor and it had all of the same crap go wrong with it. I guess its not getting enough fuel - well, i'll just replace it and see how things go...
any other input would be much appreciated...

Of course, this is not on a 3800 and not an lt-1, but still thought it was useful, since some people argue that that is the only thing any crank position sensors do
theres my useless post for the day
