Both the crank and cam sensors are needed for the computer to fire the correct spark plug at the right time. If either are bad the engine will die. Typically it can be started again after it cools off. The failure of either one will be recorded in the computer. Have the error code read out to see if this is your problem.

Car will turn over but wont start?

First, verify the spark plugs are sparking by removing one, grounding it to the engine and verify plug is firing when someone else turns the car over. If you have fire, then check crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor and then fuel filter and fuel pressure.


How do i reset a low coolant light that's on 2002 grand am?

Reset the light by cycling the key from the on position to the off position and back to the on position. If, however, the sensor still reports a low coolant level your light will come back on immediately. It is a good idea to first verify that the coolant tank is full and then gently tap the bottle with a screwdriver handle or similar object to free up stuck sensor. If the sensor is badly stuck it may be necessary to replace the tank. It is very common for the sensor to become stuck after coolant contamination by oil or from normal supplemental sealer additive being incorrectly installed.

Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1995 Ford Escort 1.9?

on the harmonic balancer you must remove the harmonic balancer and the sensor is inside The *Camshaft* (not the crankshaft) position sensor is located on the driver-side of the head on the firewall-side of the engine; possibly near the fuel injectors as the harness comes from the same wire-wrapping. You *will* need to remove the intake manifold in order to insert a replacement sensor. (you can cut the original for removal) Cam position sensors are usually very reliable however... may want to verify that there is not a short and that the wiring harness connectors are clean in addition to manually testing the sensor with a voltage meter and cranking the engine. Removing an inake manifold can be an uneeded hassle. The intake manifold's gasket keeps coolant in the head. The crankshaft position sensor by the way is located between 10 and 11 o'clock relative to the crankshaft damper (aka harmonic balancer). It may be accessed and replaced without removal of any engine parts.

Usually an intermittant no start is caused by a fualty Crankshaft Position Sensor. Best way to verify this is to check for spark during a no start situation. If you have no spark at the coil towers then your CPS is bad and needs to be replaced
