Discussion Starter · #3 · Dec 3, 2016 as with every place i tried they (GMpartsdirect) do not show a diagram or schematic only the part itself. And the video shows how to change on a different engine. does not help me in finding it on mine.

JayT2014, Watching that second video (of the Cobalt) was like seeing a horrible car wreck. You're appalled yet you can't stop watching. When that fellow started yanking on the wires I couldn't help but laugh. In my former life I would have used that video as an example of something that should never happen. Everyone should see that footage. Joined Aug 27, 2013 · 1 Posts

Has anyone had an luck finding this thing? Everything I search online it's shows me the camshaft sensor and not the crankshaft. Really need to replace this ASAP. This is for a 2.4L.

It should be similar and close to the same location as this Chevy Cobalt 2.2.L engine.. Very close. . . Joined Mar 21, 2011 · 1,322 Posts

So did the Cobalt video help more or the diagrams? It seems the video is about the same as the 2.4L CS sensor location. I will delete which ever is not helpful. Thanks!

For orientation purposes, doesn’t the “fat arrow” always point to the front of the vehicle (ie: the radiator)? So the top crummy diagram is a view from the firewall side, while the bottom crummy diagram is looking down from the passenger-side fender? Is that correct? And the textual descriptions (“Lower Rear Side”, and “Right
Side”) indicate orientation as if sitting in the vehicle, *not* the actual sides of the engine, right? Joined Sep 5, 2014 · 5,757 Posts

It is more accurate than the diagram. . . . which is why I said it is crummy. The diagram was from a shop manual and the line drawing is not the best and too cluttered for sure. I just included it
as added info. Again. . the video for the Cobalt engine is more useful. Same engine class. Joined Sep 6, 2017 · 45 Posts

JayTee2014: I wasn’t criticizing the diagrams, I was just using your “crummy” term because I agree those Shop Manual sketches can be hard to use (especially orientation). Joined May 10, 2018 · 6 Posts

I have a 2014 terrain 4cyl. It's stalling only when cold started, once it warms up to operating temperature it runs good. Could this be a camshaft position sensor problem?
