@richpin06a i have followed the step by step and know when i tryden to remove it i broke the sensor head and now its stuck and block and know i need help trying to pull it out asap

@richpin06a Checked ignition module put a new one on didn't work. Luckily the part store let me return it because they couldn't test my old one for me. It would have been $115.

@igarcia200 There is not a relay in either fuse box for the alternator… where should I check? Everyone I talk to keeps saying it's probably a linkable fuse, but I don't know how to check these. I don't wan't to cut the wiring harness open...

@curtisalandavis did you check you relay for the alternator, it would blow out more likely once you jumped in the opposite way hope this helps.

@curtisalandavis Wow that could have blown the computer.In a normal car if there was no spark after changing a cps i would look at the ignition module as a possible cause.

@richpin06a I have the same problem as inkilla. I do not have spark from spark plugs or coil packs. I replaced CPS still no spark. This all happened after i hooked jumpercables up backwards. I think maybe my onboard computer is bad. how can i test that?
When I was removing the crankshaft position sensor it broke before I could remove it on my 1996 Saturn so need help ASAP

@deboy5319 I have never run into a broken one that being said i would start by taking the starter out of the way.Then it would be trial and error on the tools i would use.

To all who are dealing with potential CPS issues:Replaced CPS with MasterPro replacement w/ from O'reilly's. No change. After pursuing fuel issues, incl. a fuel filter/reg. and trying many other things I gave up and took it to a shop. CPS from Masterpro measured less than 700 ohms. He replaced it with a CarQuest and it starts fine. Don't assume your replacement parts are fine; check, double check and save your receipts because now the retailer does not want to allow a return.
