Where is the crank position sensor located on a 1998 buick century custom 6 cylinder 3.1 engine?

On a 1998 Buick Century Custom with the 3.1L V6 engine, the crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) is typically located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine block, near the front of the engine, below the crankshaft pulley.

It's often a relatively small sensor with a single wire connector. You might need a mirror and possibly a flashlight to see it clearly. Be aware that the area is hot when the engine is running, so let it cool down completely before attempting to locate it. A repair manual specific to your vehicle's year and engine would be the most accurate source for a visual reference and precise location.
