Overheating from the engine wears down the sensor and will go out when it gets to hot , after awhile it could be completely degraded to where it wont work anymore

No.


What does the diagnostic code P0320 mean for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee?

P0320 (M) No Crank Reference Signal at PCM No reference signal (crankshaft position sensor) detected during engine cranking.P0320 (M) No RPM Signal to PCM (Crankshaft Position Sensor Signal to JTEC) A CKP signal has not been detected at the PCM.The Sensor has failed. Replace the *Cam Position* Sensor in the Distributor.***added by DrStoooopid You're half right. The sensor has failed, but there's two of them.1. Cam position sensor, which is on the front of the engine. (location varies depending on engine)and is most definitely not in the distributor. There IS no distributor in those engines, they're electronically controlled. The cam position sensor sits .30" from one of the camshafts.2. CRANK position sesnor which that code is referencing. The CRANK position sensor is the one that failed. (They usually fail in pairs though). The crank position sensor is harder to get to. It's on the back of the engine, near the transfer case.


1992 Honda civic lx why is there no spark?

IM NOT SURE IF IT HAS ONE OR NOT, BUT IF IT DOES, CHECK THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.IF ONE OF THOSE TWO FAIL, THE ENGINE WILL NOT START OR EVEN SEND A SPARK. THE COMPUTER WILL NOT KNOW THE EXACT POSITION OF THE CRANK SO IT DOESNT KNOW WHEN TO SEND A SPARK.


What does fuel fail 17 mean on a Jaguar?

It is the code for the TPS Throttle position sensor


What would cause 2001 aurora to stall at idle and low speed-- Seems the tachometer goes wacky when it stalls?

Had this issue with mine. It was the Crank Shaft Position sensor. The sensor is a dual sensor, so it will work until both parts fail, but it's dangerous, since this failure can really mess up the engine.


Why did your 92 Chevy Corsica suddenly stall and never start again?

Could be your crank sensor. These are very common to fail on these cars.


Why do you get misfires with new coils?

Crank position sensor........going bad.....You didn't say what car it is..but.. some have two signals coming from it. 3x pulse and a 16x pulse. If either one of these pulses fail, your car wont fire right or not at all. It will still run if the cam sensor is a miss, though...


Where is the crank sensor on 2003 Satyrn L-200?

its right behing the foot pedals dude Wow who didn't know that lol FAIL


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.


RPM's on 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 suddenly drops and power seems to fail but car still running. What could the problem be?

faulty sensor possibly cam/crank/oxygen/temperature sensor.


Could a bad crank shaft position sensor be a reason for a 1996 Mirage to crank but not start?

Yes,among several other things that can go wrong,the CPS signals to the cars ecu (computer)the position and speed of the crankshaft.If it has failed,you fail to go!If it is faulty you could have sporatic start and stop cycles,i.e. you run it stop,you shut it down for 15 minutes it runs again.hope this helps ohlord
