The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor (formerly named simply crankshaft sensor) is mounted remotely from the ignition module on an aluminum cover plate. Based on CKP sensor pulses, the sensor sends a reference signal to the computer control module, which is used to determine crankshaft position and engine speed.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Except 2.0L (VIN H) Engine
See Figure 1
Disconnect the negative battery cable.http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/jpg/small/0900823d800f0427.jpg (http://javascript<b></b>:pop()
Fig. 1: Location of the CKP sensor and related components - 2.2L (VIN 4) engine
For the 2.2L (VIN G and 4), raise and safely support the vehicle.
Disconnect the sensor harness plug/connector.
Unfasten the sensor-to-block bolt/nut, then remove the sensor from the engine.
Inspect the sensor O-ring for damage and replace, if necessary. Be sure to lubricate the O-ring with clean engine oil prior to installation.To install:
Position the sensor in the block, then install the sensor retaining bolt/nut.
Tighten the sensor bolt to 71 inch lbs (8 Nm).
Attach the sensor harness plug/connector.
If raised, carefully lower the vehicle.
Connect the negative battery cable.also it cost like $93.00 at an autozone.

This is all relevant IF the sensor comes out of the block easily.After being installed for 10 years or more,they have a habit of NOT coming out.

I have this lovely system for removing stuff that doesn't like to come out. You attach a ratchet with the appropriate socket of the deep variety. Then I take off half the handle for my hydraulic floor jack and put the hollow end over the ratchet. Ta-da, 4 foot handle...and torque becomes my friend.
