Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 2001 Pontiac sunfire?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire is located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the front of the engine, close to the crankshaft pulley. It's usually relatively easy to access once you're underneath the car or have removed some underbody shielding.

However, the *exact* location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (2.2L or 2.4L). A repair manual or online diagrams specific to your engine's year and displacement are highly recommended for pinpoint accuracy before attempting any repair or replacement. Using a diagram with your engine's specific details will prevent unnecessary work.
