No, the engine will still crank over but will not start if this sensor is bad because it controls the fuel injection circuit.
Does your vehicle have the LT1? if so there is no crank sensor.. there is an optic sensor in the distributor that controls all..
From my experience, If your crank sensors bad the car will not start up at all.
Yes it very well could, because a misfiring coil pack or weak coil pack can cause interruptions in the signals to both the camshaft position sensor into the crankshaft position sensor. I had this happen on my Buick LeSabre, it gave a code 18, which is Cam / crank position sensor error okay. I replaced all three coil packs, and it went away and never came back. If you look at the diagram for the wiring of your ignition control module, you'll see that the coil packs, ignition control module, and camshaft and crankshaft position sensors are all interconnected.
A bad cam or crank sensor can cause a no start, but the engine will still crank or turn over.
Some of the 1992 Rangers had the camshaft position sensor on top of the engine in the same hole where the distributor used to be. Some Ranger engines did not use a camshaft sensor at all.
how to ins toll a crank sensor on a 95 Mitsubishi 6v, but first of all my car crank to the point that it wanted to start but it does not start what might be the problem.
Yes
WOW WAY TO NAME ALL OF THEM LOL it is the crankshaft position sensor and either knocks sensor or camshaft position sensor First off if you a have a 3.1 it is the KNock Sensor. Crankshaft sensor and cam sensor is on the belt side of the motor. Crank is on bottom behind the big pully and cam is on top(half way up) usually under power steering pump
The camshaft position sensor is located on the end of the cam. When you open the hood look at the piece that you put your oil into. Follow that all the way to the right and on the end you will see the sensor. All it is is two bolts and a plug.
The crank sensor sends a signal to control the spark timing to the engine. If the sensor goes bad the engine may run rough or not run at all.
That sounds like its going to be either your camshaft position sensor or the crankshaft position sensor. I have a 02 durango with a 4.7 and it uses both. if its starts and all of sudden cuts out its your camshaft sensor a 40 dollar part that's pretty easy to change.
The crank sensor is located on the back engine wall in the middle, just under the two coil packs (from where the spark plug wires come). There is a wire harness from the crank sensor to the module which holds the two coil pack. The crank sensor is held into the engine by a single bolt. To see all of this, you have to go under the car. I am having an intermittent no start problem with my 93 Cavalier (it cranks, but no spark at all) and I think the crank sensor is my problem.
