Is the ignition coil resistor necessary?

Yes definitely it is necessary because when u crank the engine at that time ignition coil is in cold position so at that time complete 12 volts bypasses the ballast resistor but when u releases the key from cranking position so the key comes to the ignition position at that position 12 volt of battery goes through the resistor that may be approximately 9 volt because when engine starts the coil temperature increases and there is no need of 12 volts


What are symptoms of a bad Crankcase position sensor?

The crank position sensor, sometimes referred to as the crankshaft position sensor, is a small plug found on motor vehicles that monitors the speed at which the crankshaft is rotating. This information is relayed through the vehicle's computer, which then uses it to calculate ignition timing. Crankshaft sensors may go bad because of faulty construction or high mileage on the vehicle.


Why does 1996 Mercury Tracer's Ignition Switch lock-up and release only when shifter is removed from park position and replaced?

The ignition switch on a 1996 Mercury Tracer might lock up and release only when the shifter is removed from park and then put in the park position again because the sensor is getting worn. This sensor lets the ignition know that the car is in park and it is safe to remove the key. Check the shift position sensor.


What do you do when you get engine code340 and 341 for camshaft position sensor when there is no such thing on a 1998 Saturn SL2?

The 1998 Saturn SL2 will show a code 340 and 341 for a camshaft position sensor because this part is also considered the crankshaft position sensor on the Saturn. The location of the crankshaft position sensor is behind the alternator on a 1998 Saturn SL2. Both crankshaft and camshaft are the same thing This vehicle is not equipped with a camshaft position sensor. Saturn is the only manufacture that uses a auto pulse generated inside the ignition control module in conjunction with the pulse received from the crankshaft position sensor to determine ignition and injection timing. If you have a code for camshaft position sensor the issue is with the pulse generator in the ignition control module.

Why could the key get stuck in the ignition?

because stupid, YOU GOT THE WRONG KEY Typically, the most common reason for the key to be "stuck" in the ignitions, is that the steering wheel is turned from the center position, which causes the ignition interlock feature to be "jammed". By manipulation of the steering wheel, to where there is no tension on it, will usually allow the key to be moved to a psoition to where it can be removed.

2000 Chevy Blazer key stuck in the ignition on position Tricks to releasing the ignition?

Remove upper and lower covers. The top is tricky because the ears of the ignition keep the top cover from being removed. I take a razor blade and cut the plastic all the way through directly in the middle below the ears of the ignition. Be aware of hidden screws when removing the covers. The screws are small inverted torx. After getting the top cover off. With key in On position. Look for hole with depress pin in it. Press retainer with pick or similar and pull tumbler straight out.
