How do you know if the computer is gone on your car?
A variety of symptoms can accompany a bad computer, like one particular system not working properly to a complete failure to start and run. And the next question is which computer? Many new cars have several. The good news is that modern automotive computers are pretty bullet proof after around 1996. It could be something as simple as a bad connection.
Will a bad crankshaft sensor make car stall while driving?
A bad crank sensor will definitely cause the car to stall. Eventually the car will stop starting up again, or if it does, it will die down around ten minutes. A good thing to do if you're sure it's the crank sensor, replace it.

AnswerIf you have a 3.0 12 valve engine is is located at the rear of the engine block, under the throttle body area.If you have a 3.0 DOHC 24 valve, it is located on the timing cover, held in with a 8mm bolt.
AnswerThe cam sensor is on the drivers side, on the intake manifold a few inches down from the intake air hose ,back of engine, it is in there sort of tight, I am still trying to figure the best way to take it out. AnswerWhat engine? On a Ford 3.8L Engine, the cam position sensor is on the right side of the engine, in the front, near the A/C compressor, it is above the crankshaft position sensor, and since they have the same connector, don't mix them up, the cam is above the crank, on the 4.6L engine, the cam sensor is on the left side, under the power steering fluid reservoir. AnswerIf it's the 3.0 OHV engine it's located on the driver side of the engine between the throttle-body and spark distributor back under a wire bundle. It's located where the mechanical distributor used to be. AnswerWhat engine?

Found out it's called a camshaft synchronizer that it's mounted on.
AnswerIf you have a 3.0, 12 valve engine, it is buried under an engine wiring harness, at the rear of the engine, close to the throttle body, near the top of the transmission bellhousing, on top of the CAM synchronizer, held on with two 7/32 screws. If you have a 3.0 DOHC 24 valve, it is located in the timing cover, held on with one 8mm bolt. Answerwhich 3.0 do you have? The 3.0 12 valve, (VIN code U-8th digit), or the 3.0 DOHC 24 valve(VIN code S)? AnswerMy Fault I should clarify that answer, (I just found the thing myself) it's on the driver's side under the wire harness that runs under the intake (beside the spark plug wire holder). The thing bends a piece of metal that's suppose to revolve around the magnet of the sensor. AnswerIf you are talking about a 3.0 (12 valve), it is on the camshaft position synchronizer at the rear of the engine under the engine control wiring harness, below the thermostat housing area. If you are talking about a 3.0 (24 valve), it bolts to the front of the timing cover with an 8mm bolt. Replacing the Sensor1. Disconnect the negative battery cable...just like on every other installation 2. Detach the CMP sensor connector next. 3. Remove the CMP sensor retaining bolt and remove the CMP sensorNow to install: 1. Clean the CMP sensor surface and ensure that the O-Ring is in place. 2. Position the CMP sensor into the engine and tighten the retaining bolt to 71-106 inch lbs. 3. Attach the CMP sensor connector 4.Connect the negative battery cable.
Answerthe sensor is a little black connector and box right next to the crank shaft if you are standing on the passenger side of the car look straight down to the bottom pulley you will see the plug with a wire on the left side AnswerIt is located on the right hand side of the engine (you standing at the front of the car) under the wiring harness going up into the engine to the left of the throttle cable. Real pain to get at and replace but can be done with no special tools. 7/32 in. wrench is the only way to get at it.I am in the process of changing mine now. You have to remove part of the throttle assembly and unplug some things to be able to move the wiring harness enough to get to the bolts. It's not really to bad though I fear I might need to replace the entire assembly requiring me to remove the intake and entire throttle assembly. My 02 Taurus SE runs fine but squeaks from the assembly. Hopefully your Taurus only needs the sensor. S

Not really. The sensor is on the drivers' side near the top of the bell housing. It is secured by two bolts. You might need an extension with a universal-joint at one end or the other to make the bend. There should be a paper spacer on the end of the sensor that needs to be in place prior to re-installing.

Can your 1997 528i start with out a crank position sensor?
I would assume not as the sensor is needed to calibrate & adjust spark timing & fuel delivery.
However not being a qualified BMW mechanic this is only my opoinion.
Hope this helps?

Answer
Lower right hand side of the engine just above the oil pan. Theres a single bolt that holds it in.
Loction of crank position sensor 1998 hyundia elan tra?
They are usually located on the front (belt and pulley) side of the engine. In your case, that would be the passenger side of the vehicle. Look for a wire loom going behind the crankshaft pulley. The crankshaft pulley is the one that is the bottom-most pulley in the center. You may see the sensor itself behind the pulley, but generally you have to remove the serpentine belts, crankshaft pulley, and lower timing belt cover to gain access to the crank sensor. You get to all this by removing the front right wheel and working through the fender well. Keep in mind your crankshaft pulley is held on with a bolt that is RIDICULOUSLY tight so you will need a 1/2" impact wrench to remove it (and to install it again). In some cases you also need a gear puller tool to remove the pulley because it's so tight on the shaft. Good luck and make sure the problem is your crank sensor before going through all the trouble!

How do you replace tha crankshaft sensor on a 1996 ford e250?
Just did this myself, please read all the way through this. It's under the front side of the engine. If you happen to have the replacement part it makes it a little easier to locate by comparing the new one to the old one. If you're laying down looking up from the bottom of the vehicle it's on the passenger side, right across from the radiator. Look for the serpentine belt and it'll be REALLY close. Now, when I went to take the bolts off it apparently hasn't been changed ever, and both bolts snapt off easy, indicating it hadn't been changed ever. I suggest to lube it up first with some PB Blaster or WD-40 and let it sit before you try it, it should come off with an 8mm socket and you'll probably need an extender if you use a ratchet. Also, the housing for the older sensor fell apart and left the magnetic "reader" part of the sensor lodged on the old bolt that snapped off. I had to use a pair of vice grips and loosen it little by little due to the lack of space to work with. When it finally came off, the new one slipped right into place. Since the bolts were snapped off I had to think of a way to keep it on there. A little automotive glue and some duct tape did the trick. If your bolts don't snap off then you won't have to worry about half of this.
Where is the crank shaft sensor on a peugeot 306 hdi?
Finally found it on my 1999 HDI. If you look at the bell housing, go 4-5" towards the passenger seat then look 2-3" to the left and down a touch. There is a big lump of wiring loom in front of it so you can't see much. You can see the single bolt that holds it in with a torch. Another clue is the wire to it come out of that thick wiring harness in front of it. Would never have found it without a torch though. Trust me-it IS there. Different engine/models apparantly have it near the fuel pump but mine is where I have said. Hth-Chris.
Where is the crankshaft sensor in a 1998 Nissan Altima?

How do you change a camshaft position sensor on a 2006 dodge stratus?
For a 2.7 litre six cylinder engine, the camshaft position sensor is located in the front or on the right side of the front engine head. Be sure the engine is cool before you start to remove it. It's fairly easy to change, just in an awkward spot to get to. You can see the connector on the front of the head just right under the top radiator hose. The sensor is held in with a 13mm bolt that has a wiring support tab attached to the top. Remove the wire support tab and then remove the bolt. After the bolt is out, just pull the sensor out with you fingers. A new sensor from the dealer will run around $55.00. I installed one from Autozone and it didn't work. It caused another error to show up. The other error cleared when I put the old sensor back in. Best to get the sensor from the dealer and you wont have to deal with more problems. What error code did the car give you. A PO340 is normal for "Intermittent signal from camshaft sensor to PCM". You can check this on your dash odometer readout by turning the ignition key to the ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON, not starting the engine, then your dash tone will sound five times, then the odometer will readout the codes, one code at a time, like "0340" for the camshaft sensor error. After reading the codes, the odometer will say "DONE". Here is a site to help read the codes: http://www.iequus.com/support/obd2_definitions.php
the cranck sensor is on front of engine it reads the teeth on crank pulley.the cam sensor is on top of same side of engine.
