Usually not at all. If the Engine Control Unit does not get signal from the Crankshaft Sensor it will not know when to inject fuel or light it with a spark. Consequently it will not start.
A bad crankshaft sensor on a 2.3 Ford may cause the car to not start. A bad crankshaft sensor can crank, just not start.
car will not start if the crank shaft positing sensor is bad ..because it control the car spark plug firing..( no fire no start )
From my experience, If your crank sensors bad the car will not start up at all.
One symptom of a bad crank shaft sensor is the car having trouble starting. The car stalling and backfiring are other symptoms of a bad crank shaft sensor.
No, the engine will still crank over but will not start if this sensor is bad because it controls the fuel injection circuit.
The car won't start. Need a scan tool.
if your crank position sensor is bad you car or truck will not start because you will not have spark
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.
when the car wont start, but it will crank. but it could be other stuff too. its not just that.
cam or crank sensor
Symptoms of a bad crank sensor is hard starting, no starting or rough idle. If you're able to start the engine, and it runs for a few minutes or seconds and then dies out, most likely it's a bad crank position sensor. Also, there may be no spark in some of the spark plugs.
The engine won't run.
