How do you know if your crank sensor is bad on a Chevy Lumina Z34?

They way you can tell if the Crank sensor is bad, is when you run the car for a while and then turn it off, and when you go to start it back up, it won't start,then it's your crank sensor, it's probably cracked, so when it heats up it expands and doesn't make contact. but if you let the car cool off, it will go back together and start up, A faulty crank sensor should trigger a check engine light.

How to tell if the coolant tank is cracked?

Wouldn't you fill it up with water and then see if it leaks? If you have a coolant loss you might have to start the vehicle and check under the hood for possible leaks at the hose connections and also the radiator. You may also have a leak in the heating system. You can check that by turning on the heater and seeing if you smell the scent of antifreeze coming from the vents. Another sign of that would be possible coolant leaking onto the carpet on the passenger side. Please take precautions if you have the hood open with the engine running to not get your hand in the way of of the radiator fan......that's a good way to lose a finger or two.

2000 Expedition Can anyone tell you what is the function of the coolant sensor and does it affect the thermostat?

Today's coolants conduct electricity and hence send electrical signals via the sensor to a wide range of your vehicles' computer systems, including the air/fuel mixture and yes, your thermostat. If you find the vehicle runs differently at different temperatures, then it is possible that your coolant level is too low, the coolant has lost it's conductive qualities or your thermostat may be stuck. Certainly, if the sensor is bad all these other systems will be affected.
