Crankshaft sensor
I have a 96 corvette that overheated and the crankcase sensor went bad (at least it appears that is the problem). I have the part but I can not locate it on the engine. One place says it is in the front over the balance another said on the passenger side of the engine and the last place said in the rear of the engine over the starter. Can someone please tell me exactly where the sensor is and how to get to it?

I replaced the O ring on the crankshaft position sensor because of a oil leak...it is located right front of engine ...down low near the crankshaft balancer and hub...I did mine on a lift and it wasn't too bad 20-25 minutes held by 1 bolt..just very close quarters...once again it will not cause a no start condition.

The thermostat stuck. The engine had started sputtering from overheating and I shut it down and had a wrecker bring it in. The engine was still running when I shut it off. Went out to check it the next day and no power to the ignition or fuel pump. Where is this opti sensor?
