Crankshaft Position Sensor Location

[richpin06a]

@SnowLeopardMike You think this one is bad you should see a Nissan 2.5L i couldn't even get my camera in there to video it's replacement.

[lmoney756]

My 2000 mitsubishi eclispe crankshaft postion sensor is located inside the engine where the timing is at :( its going to be a difficult job

[scottgsxr1000]

mine was behind the starter on my 2000 jeep gc it was a pain.

[richpin06a]

@scottgsxr1000 It seems like all jeeps need the crank sensor replaced at sometime.

[Mp661k]

P.S: Starter is on the front left

[Mp661k]

Your view is right in front of the crankshaft sensor. A view from opening hood than to----> crankshaft sensor would be a HUGE help. In my Haynes(72051) sentra/200sx book, 95-99 (Shop assured me the book works for the 2002 sentra 1.8L ) its located on the front right under distributor cap of the motor.

[richpin06a]

@Mp661k I do have a video for the location of the crank sensor for a 02 sentra.

[Cory21Smith]

Richpin06a, do you happen to know where it is on a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant 4cylinder?

[richpin06a]

[MRA08]

@TheSquishyMango i had to replace my cps the other day. it's located right next to the oil filter. it's probably dirty as hell and covered in gunk. you can trace it using the plug that's right next to the oil cap. look for a silver heat sleeve. it's hard to spot but easy to fix. good luck.

[RosemarySam]

in a jeep grand cheroke 2000 were is the crankshaft position located at ? help :)

[richpin06a]

@RosemarySam It matters what engine you have

[fuq86]

can any typical problems cause a crankshaft position error to com from the ecm? for example, a tuneup, bad coil, bad distributor etc? my car runs fine but i have had this problem 2 times in 2 weeks and when it happens it runs poorly but if i turn the car off and sit for a minute it will run fine. if it runs fine four times consecutively the check engine light goes off. i know i need a tuneup. should i just do that or replace the sensor as well? i have recieved this diagnostic code both times

[richpin06a]

@fuq86 Do your tune up first they can never heart.I have seen this shutting off the car when it has idle problems and everything was find after and it turned out to be a throttle position sensor.

[ochrered]

Could you do this same demo on a f 250 power stroke diesel? How much is the CPS in US? Does anyone know how i can purchase stuff like this direct from US?

[richpin06a]

@ochrered RockAuto.com will ship to Canada.That sensor is $27.

[Rosman1974]

will a mechanic be able to determine which sensor is bad on my car without a check engine light on?

[richpin06a]

@Rosman1974 Yes, but will it be cost affective in the time to diagnosis it.

[james4q2]

do you know where the crank position sensor on a 2000 suzuki esteem is?

[carluzrt]

Awesome! You started off a bit slow showing the position and I'm glad you did. Very helpful..thank you.

[richpin06a]

@andrewzhang05 The cps on your vehicle is located near the A/C compressor.

[andrewzhang05]

@richpin06a thank u ,but is any special toll for replacing? do u think i can replace the cps by myself. thank u verymuch for answer my question!!!

[richpin06a]

@andrewzhang05 Check out my other videos i have one on changing the cps on the s-series then you can determine if you can do it or not.

[andrewzhang05]

@richpin06a is any special tool for replace cps. do u think i can replace cps by myself .thank you verymuch for answer my question!!!

[w4625]

I need the location of the cps for a 93 toy camry 4 cyl

[spirittoo]

Hello Rich ... could you tell me where to find the CPS on a 96 chevyS-10? ... Possibly how to remove and replace it? Thanks ...

[richpin06a]

@spirittoo Which engine do you have the 2.2 or 4.3

[spirittoo]

@richpin06 ... thought I posted, but don't see my message ... don't know what happen there if there is a dupe sorry about that ... I have the 2.2 engine 5 speed standard shift.

[richpin06a]

@spirittoo The 2.2 has the sensor mounted in the side of the block i believe it is in the back like this saturn

[spirittoo]

@richpin06a Like the one in the video ... thanks much ... :)

[uberchrissie]

Hi Richpin, thank you for taking the time to do this! Do you have any idea where the CPS is for Merdedes E320 1999? Thank you so much!

[richpin06a]

@uberchrissie Sorry i can not help you with that one.

[09Bharrell]

can u help me find ckp on a 94 geo prizm

[BlackSheepFTW]

richpin your videos have saved me hundreds of dollars keeping my 99 SL2 running, thanks for taking the time to make and upload these.

I have a question for you. I am looking to wire a killswitch into my car, it was stolen recently and I got it back but the thieves got right past the starter kill that was built into the alarm. My question is can I wire a switch inline with one of the wires for the crankshaft sensor to disable the vehicle? If so, would one be a better choice than the other?

[richpin06a]

@BlackSheepFTW Either one will work.

You can also tap into the fuel pump fuse wire behind the inside fuse panel



[BlackSheepFTW]

@richpin06a Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about tapping into the fuel pump relay but when I got my car back both of the side panels on the center console were removed, I can only assume that extra wiring there would be a dead giveaway. My reasoning for the switch on this sensor is it is extremely difficult to reach and even see without lifting the car up. Thanks again!

[filthyfuckinsmiles]

thanks

[306Finest306]

hey i have a 4.3L vortec an i cant find mine?

[jcmele01]

Rich, is the position sensor also located next to the starter on a 97 grand prix? The car has a V6 engine. I hope you can help me. Thanks.

[richpin06a]

@jcmele01 If you have the 3.8L engine there is only one crank sensor and is behind the balancer pulley.

[jazzmember4life]

@jcmele01 Hello may I ask what problem you were having with your 97 GP, and also how you fixed it. I have the same car and every so often it will not start the first time or it starts but sounds weird. Thanks much.

[jcmele01]

Hello Jazzmember4life. My car was stalling and not starting properly. Several times the car would die while driving it. I found out that the crank position sensor was malfunctioning so I had to replace it ($375.00). You can actually replace it yourself if you have the tools but I didn't have the tools or the time so I had to pay. Good luck and let me know if I can further help you.

[clev76]

hey rich i have a problem with my saturn sl i did the test with the spark between the tow coil prongs and it sparked well

[richpin06a]

@clev76 What seems to be the problem.

[garcon98]

nice work , now0.7 is seven hundred of a ohm or vott? is that correct ?

[RobertGary1]

Personally I don't like testing sensors with voltmeters. Just use a good scan tool and read the RPM value from the sensor list. If you are cranking the starter and the RPM shows zero on your scan tool, you have a dead CPS.

[momarr69]

Hey :D I was wondering, it was pretty cold here for a few days and i had to boost my car, it ran for a bit then quit. Now it won't start, it just turns over without firing. It's a 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix, will this car have a Crankshaft position sensor?

[TheChicagogirl01]

Is there a way to get to this if I don't have a lift to get under my car?

[richpin06a]

You could remove the intake manifold but that would be a lot of work.

[samuelbrainsample]

Yes, this is the latest thing to fail on my '99 SC1. If the car dies because of this sensor and you're not able to restart the car (I was able to once, thank goodness), hopefully it'll be in a spot where you can jack up the car (use jackstands) to get underneath. It's a hard-to-get-to part but thankfully it's cheap.

[mikeballs1234]

Dude your awesome! Thanks for the help!

My car is now running great!

Thanks

[williamwallaceww]

yes this was finally my last problem .. after solve the hitting problem ,changing water pump, coolant tap, coolant temp sensor, starter, so it still was some times stalling only the saturn dealer mechanic could see the anormal rate and he change the senor .. now i can sleep jj

[mayorga22]

there is no need to drain the oil by replacing the CPS ??

so then the Cam sensor will be near the biggest pulley???

I have a 1996 chevy truck. I have noticed decrease in power acceleration and a decreased in the MPG. my muffler gives me this strong gasoline smell.

I check it in autozone and the code came like this. cam sensor failed, crankshaft sensor failed, Mass airFlow sensor failed, and oxygen sensor failed.

what should I do first??

[richpin06a]

There is a fail code PO320 but they can fail without setting a code.

[lozantus82]

hey rich i am from california dont have much money either but i hope you can help me out with a few tips. i own a 95 saturn sc1 that does not want to start. ive checked for spark and it had none at the time. i took it to a mechanic and he told me it was the ignition module so i told him to replace it. a day later it did the same thing and left me stranded, i was so pissed cause i thought the problem was fixed. it starts up some times than it dies and at times it stays on im stumped rich!

[lozantus82]

i think its the crankshaft sensor, but im not sure it leaves no codes either on the computer. maybe my mechanic is looking in the wrong places i read up and it says that sometimes the cps can test out fine but when they heat up thats when the sensor will give out. it also says that the cps triggers the the spark and fuel pump too

[richpin06a]

You are correct in thinking it could be a bad Crankshaft Position Sensor.On saturns it is very rare to have a bad ignition module when there is no spark but not the case when it comes to the crankshaft sensor.I would change out the sensor and see what happens.

[lozantus82]

thanks alot rich you saved me alot of time and frusteration! the cps was my problem it checked out fine when the car was cold but when it would heat up my car would not start.

I guess thats what happends when you purchase

a non OE part from autozone LOL!

[rkellyforums]

Does this sensor give off a OBD2 when it fails, or is starting to fail? If so, what generic code is it?
