The crank sensor is a crucial ignition component, and the absence of Top Dead Center transition signal to the computer from this sensor normally results in no spark to the plugs.

My 95 Lincoln town car won't spark or fire after replacing engine all fuses good grounds good good fuel pressure to the rack?

There are a couple of things to check. Since I doubt both coil packs would fail at the same time, I would check the Crank sensor and EDIS Ignition Control module on the driver-side fender. The easiest way to check the crank sensor is with a DVOM at one of the pins at the module. I cant remember which one off of the top of my head though. If you are getting a signal from crank sensor, then check power and ground at the EDIS module. These usually fail and show signs with intermittent starting when hot and cold. Also check the crank sensor harness if you are not getting a crank sensor signal.

How do you know if a crank position sensor is bad?

You will have a no spark situation. Testing it with a volt meter is easy. Twist the crank shaft slowly by hand and watch volt meter. If there is voltage and no voltage the sensor is good. No readings sensor is bad


Will a 1995 Chevy 4.3 vortec engine work in a 1999 Chevy blazer?

From what I've experienced, up to 1995, they don't have a crank sensor and 1996 and later has one. It would reason that it would be a lot of work to get a crank fitted or cut and then install a timing chain cover to accept the crank sensor. Other than this. I would think it would work. Maybe look for a kit that would do this for you. Good luck. yes but would be different wiring


97 catera that won't start you thought it was the fuel pump but that is good any ideas?

Check your crank shaft sensor. Had the same problem, replaced crank shaft sensor and fixed the problem.


My 2000 cavalier will crank but not start.It has spark and you can smell gas.We changed both coil packs and the control module. Any suggestions?

Can the crank position sensor be bad even though it checks out good with an OHM meter?

Yes, but not usually. If the computer is telling you that you have a bad crank position sensor, it could also be a connector or damaged wire. Don't be too literal.


1998 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.1 crank no start you have no spark no injector pulse changed crank sensor camshaft sensor and pcm What is wrong?

First check crank sensor again. A terminal gets bent sometimes during installation. Look at it good with a light. Then, VATS module, under dash, left of steering collumn, velcrowed in.
