crank angle sensor location please

Hello,

The crankshaft sensor is called a hall effects sensor which is located inside the distributor. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

1995 Ford Taurus

We bought this car used and it drove perfect for about three months. Daughter parked it in the driveway and it won't start again.
Several people have told us it sounds like the crank sensor. We have the part but have been told to look in two different places in the engine. Where is it located?

1- looking for a crank sensor ?
what do you have for an engine size

The engine size is 3.0

Do not have a crank sensor
do you have a distributor ]and if so no need for crank sensor
have a pick up coil and module
if no spark check and suspect module

Thank u so much for ur help. We r going at this pretty much blind. Where is the module. Ur right, no fire.

where is the ignition switch located and will it kill the fire to the motor when it heats up then start back when it cools off?. help going crazy. also will a crankshaft sensor heat up and not fire then cool off and fire? im losing fire when the motor is at normal temp.

Bolted on side of the distributor

The switch is at the bottom of the steering column. I doubt that is the problem. Has the check engine light come on? The crank sensor could be the problem.

Let me know.
Joe

no the check engine light does not come on
it has a new ignition module a new coil still losing fire should i try a new crank shaft sensor

That could be the problem. Have you checked wiring to make sure everything is tight, clean, and not corroded or damaged?

could it be the camshaft sensor nothing dirty or lose what sensor would you put on next

I would check the crank sensor next.

where can I find the crank sensor on this car I had replace the trans and now it wont start

CKP sensor is located on front cover near crankshaft pulley. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove serpentine drive belt. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect sensor connectors.
Remove sensor bolt and sensor.

were is crankshaft senor on eng.

First of all thank you so much for your donation.What is the 8th digit of your vin?Let me know so i can get you the correct information.

were is crankshaft sonor on eng.You ask for 8th# in vin #4

If the 8Th digit is a 4 then you have a 3.8L engine?If you have the 3.8L that has a distributor and wouldn't have a crank sensor.So do you have the 3.8L engine?If you don't then what engine do you have?Do the spark plug wire's go straight from the coil to plug's?Or do you have a cap the wire's come off?

car haves 3.8 with cap. motor mount boke repair and put new water pump car cranks but will not start ?

If you have a cap there won't be a crank sensor.So it ran good before you replaced the mount and water pump?Did you check to see if you knocked any wires loose?Have you checked for spark and what your fuel pressure was?

On lower right rear of engine

car will not start see antifrezze leaking out of muffler

There is no crank sensor on a 1992 Taurus. This car has a distributor.

Pull your oil dipstick out see if there is coolant in the oil if there is it usually will make the coolant look milky white.Also pull all the spark plugs out and see if there is coolant in your cylinders.

thankyou have crack block.

Your welcome that's what were here for.Also thank you for using 2carpros.

where is the ckp senor on a ford taurus and wher does the two leed wires coming from the ckp senor go?

I'll need to know what engine you have in your car to tell you where the CKP sensor is located. The wires coming from the sensor go to the computer.
