Where is crankshaft position sensor for 2000 dodge grand caravan

Hi mate start at the easiest point which will be to check your EARTH to make sure everything is earthed.

Here's a link to your crankshaft position sensor. Repair Guides Cits on the bottom of the engine block, there is a heat shield covering it, thats why you can't find it, its around the intake manifoldomponents Systems Crankshaft Position Sensor AutoZone com

The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the engine block behind the alternator near the oil filter.

Hello brscwb,

Below is an image depicting the location of the crank sensor.

I hope this helps.

Hi, if an engine cranks but refuses to start, it lacks ignition, fuel or compression. When the engine cranks normally but won't start, you need to check ignition, fuel and compression. Ignition is easy enough to check with a spark tester or by positioning a plug wire near a good ground. No spark? The most likely causes would be a failed ignition module, distributor pickup or crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.

It is hard to say with the info posted, it could be related to a number of issues. If you have verified that there is no spark to the spark plugs, it could be the CPS (crankshaft position sensor)

po 1391 is crankshaft sensor or cam sensor change crankshaft sensor

does it have a crankshaft sensor? My experience is cam position adjusts timing, crankshaft sensor allows ignition.

Hello! The DTC P0016 inidicates a cranskshaft and camshaft misalignment. If you only replaced the camshaft position sensor - you may need to replace the crankshaft position sensor - which is located at the top where the engine and transmission connect.


Hope this helps and good luck! Thanks for using FixYa!
