Where is crankshaft sensor located in 1996 Chevy Camaro 3.8l?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1996 Chevy Camaro with the 3.8L V6 engine is located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the bottom of the engine, typically close to the bellhousing (where the transmission connects to the engine). It's often pointed towards the front of the vehicle.

You'll likely need to get underneath the car or use a mirror and a light to see it clearly. It's a small sensor, usually with a single wire connector.
