I really need to know how to tell if i have a loose crankshaft or crankshaft position sensor. Or could it be the timing belt . We just put in a new water pump but the timing belt was on TDC when we were done. PLEASE HELP !!!! Its running pretty crappy...
Take off the old one and put the new one on.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - 2.5L REMOVAL Remove speed control servo from driver's side strut tower. Remove crankshaft position sensor retaining bolt Crankshaft Position Sensor Pull crankshaft position sensor straight up out of the transaxle housing. (Disconnect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector from the wiring harness connector. INSTALLATION - ADJUSTABLE All vehicles will be equipped with an adjustable crankshaft position sensor. This can be identified by an elongated mounting hole in the sensor. NOTE: If the removed sensor is to be reinstalled, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A NEW SPACER must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, confirm that the paper spacer is attached to the face of the new sensor Crankshaft Position Sensor and Spacer Install sensor in transaxle and push sensor down until contact is made with the drive plate. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the retaining bolt to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.) torque. Connect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector to the wiring harness connector. Attach connector to heater tube bracket. Install speed control servo. Tighten nuts to 9 N·m (80 in. lbs.) torque. extra steps for Simplification added by Billebones@AOL.com: Also: Jack up car and put it on jackstands Remove left front tire, remove plastic shield covering the battery then use a long extension with a 10mm socket to remove and install the bolt holding the sensor right over the top of the axle, this definitively simplifies getting at the bolt, if you have someone up on top to guide it back in it will be even easier. I did not remove heater tube bracket and I plugged it together before I put the sensor into the bell housing
the crank sensor is on the back of the engine above/behind the starter Two wires green connector I'm not sure of the exact position, but I had one changed on a 98 SL2 and they put the car on a rack to access it, sugesting it being underneath the crankshaft. Hope this helps.
You will have to remove the parts that are in the way. Most likely it is the starter.
It does not have one. They did not put them on until 96
THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR IS ON THE FRONT SIDE OF MOTOR DIRECTLY BEHIND THE STARTER......ITS VERY HARD TO SEE BUT IT CAN BE FELT TO PUT A SOCKET WRENCH ON IT....REMOVE WIRING PLUG BEFORE DOING THIS... IT MUST BE PLUGED IN CORRECTLY FOR THE MOTOR TO RUN AND CAN NOT BE BY PASSED. THERE IS ALSO A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ON THE TOP FRONT SIDE OF MOTOR ....ON THE HEAD
To check the crankshaft position sensor on a 1987 - 1990 Chevy Celebrity: 1. Set the parking brake. Raise the car as necessary and put on stands so that you can get to the underside of the engine at the ignition module. 2. Locate the wire from the crankshaft position sensor to the ignition module. It should have a yellow and a purple wire. 3, Measure the resistance between the two wires. It should be between 900 and 1200 ohms. If it does not read that amount it is probably faulty OR you have a problem in the wiring. There can be a problem with this though. If the sensor is good cold it can still be faulty when it gets hot. The ignition module itself can also have the same problem. If you put on a known good sensor and the problem goes away, then the sensor was probably your engines problem. WE have a car that would run fine until it got hot. It would then quit running and not start again till it got cold. We replaced both the crankshaft position sensor and the ignition module and the problem WE were having went away.
crankshaft position sensor.
I put a new crankshaft sensor in a 1999 buick centry with a 3100 and I get a po336 code
take theone out and put in the new one. old
where is the camshaft position sensor laocated at on a 1996 ls 400 lexus
