Where is the crankshaft sensor located on the Fiat Punto 1.2 8V?

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

In this video, we will see where the crankshaft sensor is located on the Fiat Punto 1.2 8V. It is positioned on the pulley of the belt near the crankshaft and reads the number of revolutions that this pulley makes. Above it, we find the oil pressure sensor, which is attached to the filter. This sensor is essential because it helps the ECU understand how many revolutions the engine is making (along with those of the camshaft). Therefore, if the sensor is not functioning, the ECU cannot determine what is happening inside the engine: it must always be kept clean and free from deposits.
