Crankshaft position sensor on a Oldsmobile alero?

The Oldsmobile Alero uses a crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) to tell the engine control module (ECM) the position of the crankshaft. This is crucial for ignition timing and fuel injection. However, the exact location of the CKP sensor varies slightly depending on the year and engine type of your Alero.

To find it, you'll need to consult your Alero's repair manual or a reliable online resource like a repair database specific to your vehicle's year and engine (e.g., 2.2L Ecotec, 3.4L). These resources will show you diagrams and likely pinpoint the sensor's location.

Generally, the CKP sensor is located somewhere near the crankshaft pulley or on the engine block close to the crankshaft. It's usually a small, cylindrical sensor with a single wire or connector.

To help narrow down the search, please provide the following information about your Alero:

* Year: (e.g., 2000, 2004)

* Engine size: (e.g., 2.2L, 3.4L)

With this information, I or other resources can provide a more precise location.
