I have a 97 Grand Am and have a code that says the Crank Position
Sensor is bad. It has a 2.4 liter engine with a auto trans. I have
been told that the sensor is located above oil filter on front of
engine. I have pulled the alternator to get a better look but still
cant locate the dang thing. I have the new sensor so I know what Im
looking for. Can anyone give me a little more information? What do I
have to pull to get to it? Is it above the starter (Pull the starter)?
Is it behind the dampner pully (Pull the passanger tire, splash guard,
and pully)? One guy even told me it was behind the back end of the
engine, fireall side, by the transaxel case. I have had good luck on
here getting good info hope it works again. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Then you're obviously too stupid to work on a car. Take it to a professional
mechanic.

Okay, there is a bracket/brace right above your oil filter on a 2.4l that
bracket will onstruct your veiw othe the CKP sensor....just above and
slightly to the right of where your oil filter screws on.....to make it
easier remove the oil filter. 1- 10mm bolt holds the sensor to the block..
