What's the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse 3.0 Crankshaft position sensor location?

To locate the crankshaft position sensor in a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse, open the hood to gain access to the bay. It should be found above the power steering pump in between the pump and the engine block. Over time, it can become damaged or malfunction due to broken wiring. The sensor when functioning helps calculate the motor's rotational speed with information collected from the Eclipse's main computer. Without accurate data from the crankshaft position sensor, the engine will stall, mIS Fire and vibrate. The "check engine" light will be illuminated. The cost to replace the CPS on the Mitsubishi Eclipse averages between $350-$450 in parts and labor, with materials and labor costs divided almost evenly.
