Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1999 Chevy Suburban?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1999 Chevy Suburban (depending on the engine - 5.7L or 7.4L) is generally located at the rear of the engine block, near the transmission bellhousing. It's usually mounted on the engine block itself, close to where the crankshaft's reluctor wheel is.

However, the *exact* location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration. To be completely certain, you should:

* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will provide diagrams and precise locations for your specific engine.

* Use a reliable online parts diagram: Sites selling auto parts often have diagrams that show the location of sensors. Enter your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size.

* Look for a small sensor with a single wire connector near the back of the engine block, close to the transmission.

Be cautious when working around the engine; it's hot and there are moving parts.
