So I hooked up my OBD and got the code P1336 which should be the crankshaft positioning sensor. I checked out the operation of the sensor and it fits the symptoms I have. Now comes the hang up. I have searched high and low for the sensor and can’t find it. I found two sensors on the front of the engine which I believe, from there positions, are for the cam shafts. Where exactly is the crankshaft positioning sensor. If I understand how it functions it should be somewhere on the bell housing in order to read the flywheel rotation. But where?
I believe the OP is asking for help RE a V8 XJL.
I HATE MYSTERY CARS!(make,model,year)
Me to lol.
If it’s the V8 then it’s at the back, where the engine and transmission meet.
Try a google search

If its in the same place as the ‘S’ its pointing at the flex plate on the right hand side of the engine looking forwards.
