I had a shop replace my crankshaft position sensor two times now but I’m still getting the same exact error code and issue.

Hello,

Can you tell me some details of the issue you are experiencing?

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/symptoms-of-a-bad-crankshaft-sensor

Also, what is the code that you keep getting?

If the problem still exists, then the issue is something else. Many times, the issue can be triggered by related components.

Let me know.
Thank you.

The code P0335 gets triggered when the ECM does not receive a proper signal from the crank sensor. It can be due to a sensor or faulty wiring. It can also be due to an issue with the ECM.

This will require a deeper dive to look at all the possibilities.

I have attached a trouble shooting guide for this code below. Go through this and that should narrow down the issue.
