Probably not. Would like to know the year, make, model, engine, history and pending diagnostic trouble codes.
A faulty crank sensor would make the engine not run.
YOU MHAVE TO WAIT FOR OVER FIFTY MILES OF DRIVING MAYBE 75 IF AFTER THAT IT WONT GO OUT THEN COMPUTER WILL HAVE TO BE RESET AT DEALERS
crank shaft sensor With the limited information you have provided, I would have to say, that you have found the "Crank" sensor.
If the crank sensor is not working, the engine will not run.
Possibly the crank sensor or the coil pack is dead. But with a dead crank sensor you also get no spark, no crank. No crank equals no fuel delivery.
"Yes. its a maf sensor (mass air flow sensor) and it will not let it start it will mostly just crank n crank over or start for a min with spiradic idling n shut off" Actually, there is such thing as a MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure) but in some vehicles (especially Chrysler-Daimler) i believe, it can make the vehicle not start.
A bad cam or crank sensor can cause a no start, but the engine will still crank or turn over.
Have you checked for fuel and spark? Camshaft sensor and or crank sensor will cause that problem as well!
To test a 1995 Cavalier crank sensor you would need to get a mechanic's computer. They can put a sensor/fuse tester on it and see if it is working properly.
No it wouldn't, but jump starting the car or over heating the engine would crap out the sensor. I'm in the process of changing my crank position sensor now, but my original broke in my engine block ... so I need to drill a hole so I can pull it out without pushing it in my block. :(
I just replaced one for a problem that had had me flummoxed. My 95 Plymouth Voyager 3.3 liter drove fine most of the time but on rare occasions wouldn't respond momentarily to the throttle. Also, after driving a long time, especially on a hot day, it would cut out when idling. After a rest, it would be OK again, at least for a while. My mechanic gave up after checking fuel pressure and MAP sensor but suggested the crank sensor next. I found the wiring lead to the crank sensor pulled taut from the position of the wiring harness and insulation at the base of the sensor brittle and wires partly broken and shorting. Now the van runs fine.
It does not have a crank case sensor.It does not have a crank case sensor.
