ANSWER
if the crankshaft sensor is going bad the car will run funny it could run good at idle or vice versa but if it stutters when you give it gas or if it stutters while giving it gas it could be the fuel filter a fuel injector or the fuel pump or it may have jumped time but back to your question if the crank sensor is bad the car will not run at all if it does run then it will not stay running for more than one minute at a time usually the car just won't start at all if they go bad
I have a 2006 Cadillac CTS. What are the symptons of the crankshaft sensor going out?
A bad crankshaft position sensor will cause your Kia Sorrento to run rough. The bad crankshaft position sensor can also cause your Kia to not start.
When a crankshaft sensor is bad the engine will not run. The sensor is not usually intermittent, it is either good or bad.
The camshaft sensor is the same as the crankshaft sensor it is local on the passenger side of the valve cover . And going down to your crankshaft inside the timing belt cover
It's located next to the crankshaft pulley (the timing belt is going around it). You will not miss it. There is only one sensor there.
ohm test it.
It on the back of the coil packs going into the side of the block.
apparently the window motor is bad and will need replaced.
It senses whether your crankshaft has packed up, and if so, warns you of such. Driving without a crankshaft is dangerous! It can lead to not going anywhere fast, and is often a sign of owning a Chrysler product. The Crankshaft Sensor communicates to the computer what position the motor is in so it can fire the appropriate spark plugs and fuel injectors in a continuous cycle, or firing order.
I believe that has the DIS, distributerless ignition system, if so there is no timing adjustment. The timing is controlled by the ignition module, crankshaft sensor and the ECM (engine computer). Try having some run a test using and OSB tester. Sometimes if the sensor is going bad it will show.

Well, I'm not going to "show" you, but I'll tell you where it is. Standing at the front of the car looking at the engine you would locate your crankshaft pully (under your alternator). The sensor is located to the right of center of that crankshaft pully bolted to the engine block. Needless to say if you have to change the sensor you are going to have to remove a bunch of stuff, but before you do that you can access the wires coming out of that area and test their continunity before proceeding further.
