Where is the crankshaft sensor in a 2001 firebird?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 2001 Firebird (assuming a V6 or V8 engine) is typically located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the front of the engine, close to the crankshaft pulley. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (LS1, LS6, etc. for the V8s, and the specific V6).

To be certain:

1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most reliable source for the exact location. The manual will have diagrams and detailed descriptions.

2. Use a reliable online repair database: Sites like AllDataDIY or Mitchell 1 (subscription required) provide detailed diagrams and information specific to your year, make, and model.

3. Search online forums: Firebird forums (like those dedicated to specific engine types) often have discussions and pictures showing the CKP sensor location. Be sure to specify your engine type in your search.

Looking at pictures online while you are looking at your engine will be helpful, but always use caution when working on your car's engine.
