RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE NEAR CRANK PULLY
No spark? are you sure? then probably bad crank sensor, or ignition module.
You need an oscilloscope. I use a vantage, it costs like $3K. now the crank sensor only cost like $40, but have to remove the harmonic balancer to change it. Now their is the delimna mechanics always face.
Both the CAM and Crank sensor are on the front of engine. The cam semsor is to the right and held in with two smaller screws. It is actually a sealed Hall Sensor device but pretty easy to change.
behind the crank pulley
You put a new crank sensor in your 92 buick and now its like its out of time?
It has both.
No. The engine won't run with a faulty crank sensor.
could be the crank sensor, the go out. the have a reputation for that.
behind the harmonic balancer (crank pulley). you need a special puller, and 1/2 drive impact wrench to change it.
The camshaft sensor is behind the water pump pulley and the crank sensor is mounted just above the crank pulley(dynamic balancer). If the crank sensor is bad . The car will simply DIE. If the cam sensor is bad it will simply not have sequential injector firing and driveability and MPG will be affected.BOBAnswerwhen the water pump pulley is removed you can see a sensor with 3 wires going to it at the top side of the crank shaft pulley. you might be able to see it with a flashlight and a mirror without removing anything. hope that's the right sensor.
Actually, you don't replace the sensor itself. The crazy thing is part of the harmonic balancer, and you have to replace the whole thing.
