My 2006 has a bad crankshaft position sensor. Is this something I can replace in my driveway or does it need to go to the dealer ? Anyone done this repair ?

You can do it. It is on the right side of the block.

How do you know for sure the sensor is actually bad? There's not really much in them that goes bad so if you only had a CEL with a code thrown once or twice that likely isn't the real underlying problem.

Here is the sensor, and would pull the connector to clean it and reconnect it correctly, before you replace the sensor.

I will do as suggested : remove sensor, clean it, check wiring. I just wanted to know if it is something that could be done in the driveway. As you said, the sensor itself may not be bad, but I am getting symptoms (loss of power, no tach, acceleration stumble, engine knock) that are a result of bad sensor performance. Thanks for the replies.
