Where is the crank position sensor located on a 2000 Grand Caravan and is there a way to check them

 

Its bolted to the bellhousing near the extension housing. Or back motor mount. But i would try to replace the cap and rotor first. Because if you didn't have spark, i would say replace crank sensor. But since you have spark going into the cap, but no spark coming out. Cap or rotor.

 

i think that was what was prescribed in the first thread about this van.

you have spark form coil to cap then none I'm thinking the problem lies in the cap n rotor

 

Thanks guys! Cap and rotor and possibly a bare wire fixed and were good to go . The local expert who was 110% sure it was the crank sensor is sure gonna be surprised....Oh well ,you take advice where you can get it sometimes .You guys were right on !
Happy Holidays ,Lisa

 

dont wanna gloat but this one was kinda elementary, let the the local "expert" know that.

But dont be smug about it
mistakes are easy to make

 

Go ahead and gloat.............

 

only if you are
