The crankshaft position sensor can fail after many years of service. The sensor is on the engine and experiences temperature variations which can eventually cause the wire coil to open. This can happen suddenly or when the parts gets hot. In some cases it may work again after cooling.. To test this failure you need to check the problem code in the computer with a reader. It may show no failure, but if driven when it fails, the code should appear on the reader. It may require running the engine until the engine dies, because if it cools and works again, the code may be cleared.

How do you change the crank position sensor on 1999 Tahoe with 5.7 liter engine?
To change the crankshaft position sensor of the 1999 Tahoe, you must first disconnect the negative battery ground cable to avoid accidents. Then, remove the wire harness from the sensor, disconnect the wires, and pry out the bolt. Place the new sensor in the same area, replace the bolts, and reconnect the wires. Test the sensor to see if it is working.

Using a scanner with a scope, you can view the output wave of the sensor as you crank the engine.
How do you test throttle position sensor?
The throttle position sensor can be tested by moving the throttle as observing the engine's response. If it is smooth and consistent, the sensor is functioning properly.
How do you test Mitsubishi crankshaft position sensor?
Once you've checked the spark plugs, coil pack, distributor, fuel pump and all fuses and they check out to be good, and you have checked to make sure the timing belt has not jumped, then you have a crankshaft censor malfunction. The automobile will turn over but just won't crank. That means you would need to replace the crankshaft censor.
