crank position sensor location
Hi,
I have done a google search and I have got no answer of where does the CPS located on my truck? Anyone have a good write-up?
knowing mine is 5.4 L 2000 model. 121,000 miles on clock.

There is enough play in the compressor lines to move it over and reach the CKP. I just did this on my V10 last month. Just take out the bolts holding the compressor in place and then slightly move it over and you can get to the single bolt holding the CKP in place. Disconnect the old and slide it out.... slide in new and reconnect.... put compressor back in place and replace bolts..... your done! Make sure you don't over-torque the compressor bolts! You can strip them out easily.
Doing this easy swap has brought me back up about 1 to 1.5 mpg over what I was getting previously. Plus it also smoothed out the idle a little bit. Worth it to me.
Good luck!

BTW, a faulty CKP sensor would cause a "crank, not fire" symptom, one on numerous possibilities for that symptom.
I see no way for a CKP sensor to cause those symptoms. If that sensor malfunctions, the engine either doesn't run at all or it runs poorly enough to set a fault code.
