Two crankshaft position sensors?

Hi,

The vehicle will have one sensor. However, there are two variations for location. One is on the side of the engine and the other is on the front behind the crankshaft position sensor.

You will need to check your vehicle to see which one you have.

To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how one is replaced:

Next, if you look at the attachments below, I've included the directions and pictures for both.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

The impact wrench should have taken it off for you. What kind of impact are you using? Is it battery-operated, electric, or pneumatic?

I attached the directions below specific to removal. It is a straightforward procedure.

Which bolts bent? You mentioned there are two.

Let me know.

See pics below.

The only other thing I can suggest is to put a good wrench on it and smack the wrench a few times with a heavy hammer. That will often break them loose.

Hi,

First, you are very welcome. Were you able to remove it?

Let me know.

Hi,

That's good news. Is it now repaired and running? Sorry for the questions. I'm just interested in knowing.

Take care,

Hi,

When not stalling, does it seem to run normally? When driving and it happens, does it seem like there is something you do or something that seems to repeat itself before stalling? Have you checked fuel pressure to make sure it isn't a fuel pump issue? Also, does it happen when your foot is on the throttle driving or when coming to a stop?

Let me know.

What needs to be done is this. When it stalls and you have to wait 45 minutes for it to restart, spark and fuel need to be check. I suspect you have a tachometer in the vehicle. When this happens, watch the tach to see if it moves when cranking. If it doesn't, either you got a bad crank sensor or there is a wiring issue to it.

If it does move, keep a bottle of starting fluid with you. See if it starts with starting fluid and then stalls. If that happens, then we know it's fuel-related.

Here are two links that show how to perform the procedures in a different manner. I'm just trying to make it as easy as possible.

One of these things will likely be the issue. We first need to determine which and then focus on that circuit.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
