You more than likely have a bad connection or damaged the CPS when removing the alternator
what can make a crank shaft sensor keep goin bad even if its been replaced 4 times.. in a 2000 oldsmobile bravada
I have been having problems with finding the crankshaft sensor, what should i do or what can i do?
may not have been problem. remember you have a camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor but most importantly the timing belt alignment .if it is worn or jumped a tooth will give same problem.Let me know what you have done to determine it is the cam shaft that needed to be replaced ?
Maybe the batter is dead or you got another bad alternator.
The crankshaft sensor code is generic for a general ignition problem. It can be the spark plug wires, or fouled plugs. Most likely, you have one or two bad ignition coils that need to be replaced (this was the case with my 97 SL2 with that code). In my SL2, I replaced both the 1/3 & 2/4 coils (about $80 total) and the code disappeared and hasn't been back since.
if it has a crankshaft sensor that's bad
We have a 2003 Dodge Intrepid and it has 249,300 on it. The alternator and radiator have been replaced and a broken wire has been replaced on the transmission. This car has the 2.7L engine.
It will be on the firewall side of the engine. It is near the transmission. There are two sensors mounted there......a knock sensor and the crank sensor. It's been a while and I am not sure which one is which.....but it's there. no wrong totally, its not on the transmission side it is on the belt side , in back down by the crankshaft..
All that would be left would be a short in the wiring to the alternator.
Has just the sensor been replaced or the plastic drive gear in the trans as well The drive gear often wears uneven causing the speedo to go inop
May have replaced the wrong sensor or you have a bad wire in that curcuit. gm Jim
The timing or crankcase sensor needs to be checked and most likely replaced.
