Where is the crankshaft sensor on your 99 buick regal?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1999 Buick Regal is typically located on the passenger side of the engine, near the front. However, the exact location varies slightly depending on the engine (3.1L, 3.8L). It's usually mounted on the engine block, close to the crankshaft pulley or harmonic balancer.

To be sure, you should:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for the precise location for your specific vehicle.

* Use a repair manual (like a Haynes or Chilton manual): These manuals have diagrams and detailed instructions.

* Use an online repair database (like AllDataDIY or Mitchell 1): These subscriptions often have detailed diagrams and specifications for your exact year, make, and model.

Caution: Do not attempt to locate or work on the sensor yourself unless you have experience working on vehicles. Incorrectly installing or handling the sensor can cause damage to your vehicle.
