Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on 1997 Pontiac sunfire 2.2 l?

On a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire with a 2.2L engine, the crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) is typically located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley. It's usually a fairly small sensor, and you might need to get under the car or at least have a good look from the bottom to spot it easily. It's often mounted close to the bell housing.

However, be aware that exact placement can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration. To be absolutely sure, consult a repair manual specific to your 1997 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L. A Haynes or Chilton manual will have diagrams and detailed instructions. You can also use online resources like auto parts store websites (like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts) that provide diagrams based on your car's year, make, and model. They often have online diagrams that can help you pinpoint the location.
