Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1996 Lincoln Town Car?

On a 1996 Lincoln Town Car (assuming the 4.6L V8 engine), the crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) is typically 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 rearmost pulley or reluctor wheel is positioned.

However, visual confirmation is essential. It's a good idea to consult a repair manual specific to your 1996 Lincoln Town Car with the 4.6L engine. A diagram showing the sensor's location will be extremely helpful. You can often find these manuals online or at auto parts stores.

Keep in mind that access might be somewhat restricted; you may need to remove some components for better visibility. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working near any engine sensors.
