Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Cars / November 200697 Grand AM 2.4 4 cly Crank Position Sensor location
I have a 97 Grand Am and have a code that says the Crank Position Sensor is bad. It has a 2.4 liter engine with a auto trans. I have been told that the sensor is located above oil filter on front of engine. I have pulled the alternator to get a better look but still cant locate the dang thing. I have the new sensor so I know what Im looking for. Can anyone give me a little more information? What do I have to pull to get to it? Is it above the starter (Pull the starter)? Is it behind the dampner pully (Pull the passanger tire, splash guard, and pully)? One guy even told me it was behind the back end of the engine, fireall side, by the transaxel case. I have had good luck on here getting good info hope it works again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/0 e/57/51/0900823d800e5751.jsp Click on the little picture of the engine compartment to get a more detailed view.

Take it to a professional mechanic.

Thanks for the great info. I was able to find and change it out and now the car runs fine. |
