Your 2013 Chevy Malibu 2.5 L crankshaft position sensor is located in the back of the engine above the starter. The crankshaft sensor is used to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine paRameters. One of the most common symptoms of a bad crankshaft position sensor is Your check engine light coming on. Another huge red flag is that You have difficulty getting Your vehicle to start. When You attempt to start Your vehicle, Your crankshaft position sensor begins monitoring the position and speed of the crankshaft immediately. A failing sensor could also cause Your vehicle to stall and/or backfire. Stalling is more common than backfiring.
