I have limited car maintenance knowledge and have not been able to find anything on the internet to locate the crankshaft position sensor. Been working through suggestions for mechanic friends and the internet suggestions. The car would run rough sporadically, stutter, and die sometimes when at low speed or backing up. Symptoms have improved but still has died when backing. I am looking for any help I can get finding the sensor on the engine or other suggestions.

Hi,

To access it, you have to remove the plastic cover under the engine compartment. It is located at the front of the engine.

I have attached directions for removal and a picture of its location below. Please take a look and let me know if you have questions.

Take care and let me know if this helps.

Joe
