Where is the crankshaft position sensor on a 1997 Chevy Suburban?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on a 1997 Chevy Suburban is located on the front of the engine block, just below the distributor. It is a small, cylindrical sensor with a single wire connector. The CKP sensor is responsible for providing the engine control module (ECM) with information about the position of the crankshaft. This information is used by the ECM to control the fuel injection and ignition timing.

To replace the CKP sensor, you will need to:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Remove the distributor cap and rotor.

3. Loosen the bolt that holds the CKP sensor in place.

4. Pull the CKP sensor out of the engine block.

5. Install the new CKP sensor.

6. Tighten the bolt that holds the CKP sensor in place.

7. Replace the distributor cap and rotor.

8. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

Once you have replaced the CKP sensor, you should start the engine and check for any leaks. If there are no leaks, the sensor should be installed correctly and the engine should run smoothly.
