Where is crankshaft sensor located on 1992 Chevy lumina?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) on a 1992 Chevy Lumina is typically located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the bottom of the engine, and close to the crankshaft pulley. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (e.g., 2.5L, 3.1L, or 3.4L).

To find it definitively:

1. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual specific to your 1992 Chevy Lumina and engine will show the exact location with a diagram. This is the most reliable method.

2. Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine, and then view a parts diagram showing the CKP sensor's location.

3. Visual inspection: With the engine cool, carefully inspect the area near the crankshaft pulley on the passenger side. Look for a sensor with a single wire connector, often mounted in a threaded hole or bracket. Be cautious around moving parts.

Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working near any sensors or electrical components.
