How can you remove a broken crank bolt?
To remove a broken crank bolt, start by applying penetrating oil to the area to loosen any rust or debris. Use a left-handed drill bit to drill into the center of the broken bolt, which can help it unscrew itself as you drill. If that doesn’t work, consider using an extractor tool specifically designed for removing broken bolts. If all else fails, you may need to resort to welding a nut onto the broken bolt for a better grip.
Where is the crank sensor located on 1997 Saturn Wagon sw1?
These cars don't use a crank sensor - the ignition module watches the electrical properties of the #4 cylinder spark plug and uses that to calculate where the engine is within the mechanical rotation.
If you are having troubles, verify/replace that spark plug and the wiring. In a past experience with this car, it turned out to be the ignition module, located under the coil packs.

Where is the crank shaft sensor on a 1983 mercury grand marquis?
On the 302 cu in 5.0L TBI engine as identified by the F as the 5th digit in a 13 digit VIN# or the 8th digit in a 17 digit VIN#, it is located next to the crankshaft pulley on the passenger side next to and above the vacuum pump bracket. First you will need to jack the car up. I placed a 1 1/2 inch thick concrete block under both wheels. You will need to remove the vacuum pump bracket and battery ground cable and wiring harness to make enough room to work. Using a 7/16 angled box wrench, remove the retainer clip on top, not the block the sensor is inside of.
Inserting the new sensor and retainer clip is tricky since it's hard to see the angle they go back in with. Total job took me over 3 hours. You should have better luck now.

Where is the crankshaft position sensor on 1994 mercury sable 3.8 L V 6?
I cant remember if a 1994 had a distributer or not. If it has a distributer, there is no crankshaft position sensor. That information is a calculated value using the input from the distributer stator(pickup coil). If there is no distributer, then there will be a crank sensor on the front of the engine down by the crank pulley.
If you get under your car, look between the transmission oil pan and the motor. It is in the rear of the block of your motor. If you have the tools it won't be difficult just dont do it when the motor is hot.
What causes the engine to sputter?
Start of with the maintenance items: Tune up parts-cap, rotor, plugs, fuel filter, air filter, pcv, wires. The plug condition may help clue what is going on. Clean Throttle plates and intake valves
I'm always suspicious when a vehicle fails after a major repair. It's often one of the recently replaced components, but which one? See if you can find an OBD code scanner for your vehicle and try to read the computer code. Most electronic faults will show up, even if the engine won't run. You can borrow, rent or buy a code scanner from most auto parts retailers, and if they aren't busy, many will help you figure it out. You may need to tow the vehicle if you want them to help you.
