Can a bad crank sensor cause blown head gasket?
No
How do you know if it is a blown headgaskets?
There are several possible indications of a blown head gasket: If the head gasket is blown between adjacent cylinders there will be poor or no compression in either cylinder. Poor compression in any cylinder can be caused by a blown head gasket. That condition can also be caused by a burned valve or piston. Coolant in the crank case can be caused by a blown head gasket. Compression in the coolant can be caused by a blown head gasket. An engine with a blown head gasket usually loses performance and runs poorly or not at all.
How do you know head gasket is blown?
I usually hook up a pressure tester to the radiator for about 20 minutes or so...pull the spark plugs out then crank over the motor. If the head gasket is blown then antifreeze will usually have gotten into the cylinder that has the blown section of the head gasket. When you crank over the engine then antifreeze will squirt out of the cylinder with the antifreeze in it. Also smell the exhaust.. can you smell antifreeze in the exhaust. Is there white smoke coming out of the tailpipe ? That is also a sign of a bad head gasket. Finally. Does the car overheat after a short period of driving ? Yet another sign of a bad head gasket.
Can the head gasket be blown and not have water in the oil crank?
Not likely. In fact, the backyard mechanics' test for a blown head gasket is to drip some oil from the dipstick onto the (hot) manifold. If it bubbles, there's water in the crankcase. Another sign is white smoke in the exhaust.
Car broke down white smoke and will not crank now?
White smoke is water getting into the cylinders. Blown head gasket, cracked block or other serious issue caused this. If it cranks and will not catch, they plugs may be fouled from the water. If it will not crank at all, you have a frozen engine. This is often terminal for the car.
How come theres a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust on my car when I try to crank it?
It sounds like you have a blown head gasket, oil is in the cylinders and is burning as you turn it over.
1999 neon over heated and now won't start?

I have a 2002 Malibu and it started to over heat and now i have antifreeze in my oil and the car wont start but it will crank over someone please give me a suggestion on what could be wrong?
You have a blown head gasket.
Your car ran hot and then cut off when trying to crank it water is splashing out and you cant keep water in it?
Sounds like you have a blown head gasket. If you get white smoke out through the exhaust, you may also have a cracked cylinder head.
Chevy truck water coming out tailpipe a little white smoke but it runs fine but if you let idle for about 1 hour it shuts down but it will crank right up help?
Sounds like you have a head gasket blown. Check the oil to see if you have any water in the oil. If not that is good. You can also remove your spark plugs one by one to see which gasket is blown, whether it be your drivers side or passenger side. Hope this helps.
What makes my 88' ford tempo turn over but it will not crank and the gas is mixing with the oil is this a problem caused by a sensor or a distributor?
if it won't crank and gas is mixing into the oil you probably have a messed up pistonor gap in the cylinder wall
Water comes out of spark plug?
Did you mean water comes out the plug hole after you have taken the spark plug out? If you did I would say you have a blown head gasket or cracked head. If it is really bad it will fill the cylinder up and you will not be able to crank the car over, you can't compress a cylinder full of water.
