The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1996 Dodge Avenger 2.0L DOHC is located on the
passenger side (right side) of the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley. It's usually mounted in a bracket or directly to the block itself and points towards the crankshaft pulley. You'll likely need to look closely, possibly using a flashlight, as it's a relatively small sensor.
Because access can be somewhat limited, consult a repair manual or a diagram specific to your year and engine for the most precise location. A visual guide will be far more helpful than a general description.
