Yes
A bad cam or crank sensor can cause a no start, but the engine will still crank or turn over.
how to ins toll a crank sensor on a 95 Mitsubishi 6v, but first of all my car crank to the point that it wanted to start but it does not start what might be the problem.
It lets the computer know where the crank shaft is at all times, and yes it can cause a no start.
No, the engine will still crank over but will not start if this sensor is bad because it controls the fuel injection circuit.
Could be cam sensor, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, mass airflow sensor or the magnet on the crank. We just replaced all of the above and found out the hard way it was the last...and cheapest. Pull the cam sensor, look at the end of your cam and see if the magnet is damaged.
I can tell you what happened with my Buick. The crank sensor was bad. The engine would start when it was cold but not when the engine was hot. Warner athey The engine computer needs the crank sensor reading to start. Period. Why three periods? Question mark? If the crank sensor is bad that does not mean that it will not function at all. That means that it will not function properly. Even a broken watch will tell you time. It may even be the correct time.
Usually not at all. If the Engine Control Unit does not get signal from the Crankshaft Sensor it will not know when to inject fuel or light it with a spark. Consequently it will not start.
crank sensor can somtime make it not start, i just had to replace mine last week on a 98 2.2 cavalier that stoped all the bucking and cuting out . . now my cam sensor is gone and now the car wont start sooo .. . i say it lil bt mix of crank and cam sensor . i say replace both of them at the same time and save your troubles . . . that should be you problem. replace the starts first your spark plugs and cabbles and your gas filter then go to you coil pack and mogue .. if not dont make a differences then switch over your crank and cam sensor .. . hope that helps yeah out
The crank sensor is located on the back engine wall in the middle, just under the two coil packs (from where the spark plug wires come). There is a wire harness from the crank sensor to the module which holds the two coil pack. The crank sensor is held into the engine by a single bolt. To see all of this, you have to go under the car. I am having an intermittent no start problem with my 93 Cavalier (it cranks, but no spark at all) and I think the crank sensor is my problem.
From my experience, If your crank sensors bad the car will not start up at all.
Generally when the crank sensor goes out the engine will not start. The sensor on almost all vehicles is located in the front on the engine near the belts.In most cases it is held in place by a bolt.Usually they can be hard to get to.
When a crank sensor goes bad one of several things could happen. The engine may run rough, or cut off for seemingly no reason. Or, the engine may not start at all.
