Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 92 Ford Ranger, and what are the steps to remove the old one and replace with a new one? I've looked everywhere and can't get the info I need. Even bought a twenty five dollar book hoping this info would be in it. No luck. Thanks.

Locate the sensor, behind the timing cover left side of engine, remove the wire connector and 2 bolts that hold it in and remove it.

is located at lower right front of the engine. down of the timing belt area. to remove this sensor you have to remove serpentine belt, the alternator. the lower radiator hose, the heater hose, and the water inlet when you remove the water inlet (two bolts) you are going to see the crankshaft sensor. remove the connector, the bolt, and pry it out. when you install the crankshaft sensor don't tight more of 7 foot pounds .

Hi Rusty, There's two links below showing the position of 2005 Ford Explorer Crankshaft Position Sensor and the 2008 ford edge camshaft sensor location. It seems like they're all in the same position, I hope this helps.....CHEERS

2005 Ford Explorer Crankshaft Position Sensor Location

2008 ford edge camshaft sensor location

• Located front of engine, close to crank pulley
• press the helpful button and follow me on Fixya for more tips
• Insert the square tip of a 1/2-inch socket wrench into the square hole in the center of the serpentine belt's adjustment pulley. The adjustment pulley is the smallest pulley the belt wraps around.
• Pull the adjustment pulley toward the engine with the socket wrench to release the tension on the serpentine belt, then pull the belt off the air conditioning compressor's pulley.
• Remove the bolts which secure the air conditioning compressor to its mounting brackets with an open-end wrench, then position the compressor to the side of the engine compartment. Do not disturb the hoses that attach to the compressor.
• Pull the electrical connection off the crankshaft sensor.
• Remove the two bolts that secure the crankshaft sensor against the engine with an open-end wrench, then slide the sensor out of the engine.
• Slide the new crankshaft sensor into the engine, then install and tighten the sensor's two securing bolts with an open-end wrench.
• Press the electrical connection onto the crankshaft sensor.
• Position the air conditioning compressor against its mounting brackets, then install and tighten the compressor's bolts with an open-end wrench.
• Pull the serpentine belt's adjustment pulley toward the engine with the socket wrench, then position the belt onto the air compressor's pulley. write up found @ehow

How to Replace the Crankshaft Sensor in Ford 150 eHow

Could be crankshaft sensor.

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR LOCATED ON THE SIDE ENGINE BLOCK NEAR THE OIL PAN.JUST DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR GOING TO SENSOR . AND REMOVE SMALL BOLT HOLDING IT IN PLACE THEN REMOVE SENSOR.

The crank sensor is located on the engine near the flywheel axis of the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Removal & Installation To Remove:
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 2.4L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.0L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.3L and 3.8L engines
NOTE: On the 2.4L engine, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the engine block behind the alternator, just above the oil filter. On the 3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the transaxle housing, above the vehicle speed sensor.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
4. Unfasten the sensor mounting screw, then remove the sensor from the vehicle by pulling it straight out.

To Install:
NOTE: If the sensor removed is going to be re-installed, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A new spacer must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, be sure that a paper spacer is attached to the sensor face.

1. Install sensor and push the sensor in until contact is made. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the mounting bolt to 105 in. lbs. (12 Nm).
2. Connect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

It does not have an ignition control module. The PCM (powertrain control module) fires the coil pack based on signal it recieves from the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor.
