how far can you walk on a sprained ankle?
Some camshaft position sensor failure symptoms include lack of sparking in the combustion chamber, long cranking times from cold start, stumbling and drops in mileage. You can learn more about this at the Wikipedia.
Not long at all should take no longer then 5 mins
It is located on the firewall side of the engine. Towards the passenger side. Just above the oil pan. (The original respondent) just replaced one on a 1991 3.1 liter. I was lucky that I had access to a lift. It was sort of a pain but I got it replaced in about 45 minutes. The bolt is 8mm. Use a 1/4 drive with a long extension.
32. 6 miles approximatly
Overdrive is the normally allowed position
Depends on what sensor you are talking about. Need more information.
cam sensor on a diesel??????????????????? yes cam sensor on a diesel. a diesel still has valves that are opened by a camshaft to allow air in and out of the combustion chambers, and it's necessary for injector timing to know what position the cam is in. 7.3L cam sensor is located at the front of the engine just above the harmonic balancer. (this sensor is often replaced if you have a p0344 or p0340 code.) very easy to change, you just need a 10mm socket preferably 1/4" drive and a long flat blade screwdriver. 6.0L cam sensor is located on the drivers (LH) side of the engine block near the front of the engine. The 6.0 cam sensor is behind the power steering pump. You need to remove the belt and the p.s. pump bolts and swing the pump away from the block. This will expose the cam sensor(which is about 5 inches long) and it's 10 mm bolt, after which you can pull the sensor from the block.
symptoms of a bad sensor will be , engine cutting out then starting again as you drive. cutting out then being able to restart when vehicle is stopped. hard starting. if left long enuff before replacing, you will not be able to restart
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - 2.5L REMOVAL Remove speed control servo from driver's side strut tower. Remove crankshaft position sensor retaining bolt Crankshaft Position Sensor Pull crankshaft position sensor straight up out of the transaxle housing. (Disconnect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector from the wiring harness connector. INSTALLATION - ADJUSTABLE All vehicles will be equipped with an adjustable crankshaft position sensor. This can be identified by an elongated mounting hole in the sensor. NOTE: If the removed sensor is to be reinstalled, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A NEW SPACER must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, confirm that the paper spacer is attached to the face of the new sensor Crankshaft Position Sensor and Spacer Install sensor in transaxle and push sensor down until contact is made with the drive plate. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the retaining bolt to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.) torque. Connect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector to the wiring harness connector. Attach connector to heater tube bracket. Install speed control servo. Tighten nuts to 9 N·m (80 in. lbs.) torque. extra steps for Simplification added by Billebones@AOL.com: Also: Jack up car and put it on jackstands Remove left front tire, remove plastic shield covering the battery then use a long extension with a 10mm socket to remove and install the bolt holding the sensor right over the top of the axle, this definitively simplifies getting at the bolt, if you have someone up on top to guide it back in it will be even easier. I did not remove heater tube bracket and I plugged it together before I put the sensor into the bell housing
It should take you less than a half an hour to replace the TPS sensor.
The length of time it takes to change a crankshaft position sensor on this car depends on the people working on it. It can take 1-5 hours depending on the person(s) making the change.
If you have the room I would cut the wires off at the sensor and slip a 1/2" drive, 6 point, 7/8" deep socket with a long breaker bar over the sensor.
