Cannot get the new one one back in after tapping the old one out… put oil on it but it won’t budge after 1/3 way in . Will it hurt to lightly tap it down ? 😞
Good advice Chris. It was an easy replacement on my Saab after cutting out only after a few miles of driving. It appears the sensor was working when cold but not when hot. Trouble is as the car coasted to a stop it threw up a Traction Control warning so made me think that was the problem initially. Doh!
Hi, My car is starting to do this "when hot" also. So did you find out if the old sensor was still any good since it seemed to be just a weather issue? Thank you
@@MsApril16th If there is a coil in the sensor it may have a break in it and only lose current when hot. Easy cheap replacement to do. Cyclone Sid's channel touches on other engine stop issues caused by electric connections.
Could u come over and do it for me. I’m just across the pond, a few miles in ☺️. It was such a good video but I’m still lost. The mechanics at my local shop can’t fix anything but a bill.
I started having problem few days ago when my car doesn't start specially when the engine is hot and the speedometer went to zero and stop working. I took it and have it diagnostics at a car dealer after the local auto shop miss up there diagnostics. I took the car to my mechanics because the car dealer is charging me $400 something for just replacing the sensor. I start researching myself and happen came across your TH-cam. I thank you the info and learning from you. I wish my Papa was still alive because he was an old fashion chief mechanic in a Logging Company. He knows the problem right away by just listening to the sound of the engine =_)
I just had a mechanic tell me the code came up so it needed to get replaced on my saturn ion..buuut my car runs and everything i see if its bad the car won't start??🤔
AH Christopher..just subscribed !.....do you have ANY IDEAS for me please.......ive been trying to remove the retaining bolt from my crank shaft sensor (since last lockdown :( ........on a ford transit, bugger to get to as on back on block and so hard to get any tools in there.....just spent 2 hrs with a neighbour and tried to put a screwdriver between the plastic and the engine, to leaver , the bolts just going round & round .....any tips? ideas please ..I soo wanna do the victory dance ....!!
Hi Chris, I have problem with my opel astra h 1.7 cdti, when engine is hot engine stop and I have to wait 15-30 min to turn on again. So there are 2 or more sensor and this one you have make a video which one needs to replace? Thank you for video and answer. Have a great day.
Great video. very informative and easy to understand and see what u r doing. And a few extra hints and tips too. Thank u. Hopefully mine will be similar Nd similarly easy. Just picked the part up so just gonna see if I can seen it.
Great work Buddy, I'm From south America Guyana,I have a 2000 model Japanese RAV 4, recently it's cutting off or The rev is fluctuating,and my mechanic can't seems to find The problem, any suggestions
Hey Chris, hate to be a pest. But I cannot find my crankshaft sensor on my astra mk4 2.0 dti. It isnt in the location in this video. My mk4 1.7 VAN has it in this location. Could you please give me advice, I urgently need to change my sensor ASAP and I have the stuff. Just no accurate location.
thanks! i recently put in a NEW (but bad) CKP sensor and its apparently shorted internally- screwing up my fuel level gauge, ignition coil/ignitor(?) and setting off a host of other selonoids- et al! I cleaned all grounds, rebuilt my fuse box, new ECU, cleaned everything........no changes UNTIL i just now decided to swap back in the old CKP sensor. All the electrical clicking, etc went away immediately and Im not going thru the KEY RELEARN process for the new ECU
Thanks! But... Halfway through I realized, this wasn't a camshaft video... I searched camshaft... I got crankshaft... But you told me it's generally easier! So that's cool lol. I went to replace the water pump on Mom's 2000 mustang. Found it in horrible condition! Heater hose was bent all to he11. A bolt was broke off in there was half the problem to begin with. Somehow at that moment that alternator decided to go the rest of the way out. And when I decided this is getting over my head, I put it in the shop, where they found the bad camshaft sensor. I had figured some valves just needed cleaned. So a week long project, and putting it in the shop later, THIS is all I gotta do to get her car running normally again. I can live with that! They priced it at about $150. But I can get the part for 10-15 bucks. Probably gonna do it myself and save the thousand percent mark up
Good evening Chris. I am very excited about giving this a go myself as all the garages seem to take lots if cash but have still yet not fixed the problem. So I have a diagnostics tester thingy now and tonight it has come up with P0341. So may I please ask you to step in ( before I go ahead and cock this up ) and confirm that this is the problem. I have already had 4 diagnostic tests and 2 new cam sensors. I am willing to try this but could I have s bit more insight before I do. Thank you
Hi Victoria, here is a very useful link with lots of relevant information: www.samarins.com/diagnose/p0341.html It’s worth checking the things in that article but I have also heard of unserviceable crankshaft sensors creating a spurious camshaft senso fault code. As the crank sensor is cheap and easy to replace you might want to put that onto your list of things to check / replace in your fault diagnosis & rectification. As with any fault finding, it’s a good idea to get as much information as you can to use as clues as to what the problem is and then make a list of things to check / replace starting with the easiest, quickest and cheapest things to go through first, before working down the list to the more complicated things. (I have seen people waste a lot of time & money trying to replace expensive components when something as simple as a bad connection or a blown fuse was the culprit). Time spent thinking and writing down possible causes and a priority list of how to go through the fault-finding process is always time well spent. Happy fixing! Chris
Hi i have a vauxhall vectra 2007 and my engine light tells me the camshaft sensor needs replacing. Do i change the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor or just the cam shaft sensor i know where the cam shaft sensor is but dont know where the crankshaft sensor is. Please can tou advice me a solution thanks

hello today we tried to replace bosch orinal and faulty crank shaft sensor with subsistute ERA compatible part new one and it gave same error g28 while not starting do you have any idea why it did not work?
Good video but a tad misleading as far as saying "On any car". The crank sensors are mounted in quite a few places, at the flywheel end of the engine, at the front or pulley end of the engine. Some require removal of quite a few parts to get to it such as ones mounted under the timing belt covers. They are there somewhere and some are not quite so easy. I own a garage and have done enough of them on various vehicles.
A bad crank sensor usually shuts the car down completely. I have seen them act up intermittently but eventually it will go bad. Usual cause is a no start condition. At times it will cause stalling and may be difficult to restart until it cools off. It won't cause any damage unless it were to cause a stall situation in traffic which would put you in harms way possibly. Glad to help Charles. I have my own shop and have changed dozens and dozens of crank sensors on various makes and models of cars. Some are easy and some are a royal PITA....lol
Dale Stump Dale thanks man your videos are amazingly helping me..and I have 2005 chevy impala and mines stops every once in a while so I took it to Chevron and they told it was the Crankshaft sensor..I don't have the cash to fix it now do you think I'll be straight til July 1, if I only drive it from A to B??
It's hard to predict when it could go bad. I just did one in a 2005 Cavalier with the 2.2 4 cyl. and it was fairly easy. You need to remove the starter and it is right above it. I wouldn't plan any long trips until you get it replaced. I'm sorry but these aren't my videos, I just commented on it but am glad I could possibly help you.
Sadly in my 2000 Olds Intrigue this sensor is behind the starter, have to take starter out. And in reality honestly don't know what is wrong. Car ran fine Tues., Thurs. needed to go out, car dead. Battery is fine. Friend came over and hit the starter with hammer from underneath but nothing. He doesn't do anything electrical. Watched some other video and got sick to my stomach. That guy traced problem to PCM. I'm now petrified. Way to broke to have it towed and serviced in shop. Wish you were here near Detroit, Mi. Christopher. Love your personality.
I assume no worry that oil comes pouring out? The old sensor had oil on it when you pulled it. Is there any need to 1st drain the oil to change the sensor?
Ive changed this sensor but i forgot click the connector to this metal holder, so i unscrew the sensor for the second time and get it to metal holder and i forgot disconnect battery. Is it problem ? First time i disconnect the negative on battery.
Hi Chris, what are the main difference between crankshaft symptoms and camshaft symptoms pls?

Hey did you ever figure out your car issue?? Im just curious as to what it was? I had same issue and it was the throttle positioning sensor(or something name close to that
@@jeremyjones8872 did you get engine light ?/ my car stalls at random mainly when warm its usually when sat in traffic or slowing down , it starts back straight away
@@dannyBtech yes my engine light was on but it stayed on until i fixed.and when i was at a light the rpm's would drop and either shut off or want to shut off(if i put in neutral and revd it until light was green is 1way to not have it shut off. Were you able to test it with tester?
@@jeremyjones8872 i dont get any engine light or codes , i had it serviced today and it made no diffrence so my next step is crank sensor as its getting really bad and struggling to start at times along with high fuel usage
Crankshaft and cramshaft are the same sensor???? I mean can I use the same sensor???? O need to buy cramshaft sensor and camshaft? Because I have the problem P0335 on mi sentra 04, in the work shop told me the sensor are the same!
+JuiceMyRandomness Thanks Carl. It's all easy once you get into it. I learn best by doing so if I don't know how to do something I get stuck in and learn along the way... :-)
When the crankshaft sensor starts to go bad, it starts showing symptoms when it's cold. This is my own experience. You just can't find that information anywhere. You could easily think that there is a problem with the mixture ratio, although the crankshaft sensor may be the real culprit and may work well in warm weather, but at a certain degree of frost it starts to show symptoms.
i changed out both camshaft sensors because it came up for one then the other side then the crankshaft sensor code came up changed it out and still the engine light come back on
Hello can somone help me. I bought signum 3.2 v6. When engine is cold it works pefektly but when it is at working temperature it idle poor or jump when i push a throttle. And sometimes whants to stop

How much should this cost to get done by a mechanic?
My sensor was absolutely knackered
what does knackered mean?
Where is the crankshaft sensor located on the 2012 Buick Verano? I bet I won’t get any replies.
