2000 astro van where is the crank shaft sensor located?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 2000 Astro van (assuming a Vortec engine, which was common) is typically located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the bellhousing (where the transmission connects to the engine). However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine.

To be certain, you should:

* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will have diagrams and precise locations. A Haynes or Chilton manual is a good investment for any car owner.

* Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to enter your vehicle's information and view diagrams of engine components. Search for your year, make, model, and engine size to locate the CKP sensor.

Without a specific engine code (e.g., 4.3L, 5.7L), a more precise answer is impossible. Looking at diagrams specifically for your Astro's engine will give the most reliable information.
