Thanks for all your knowledge brother. It helped me so much to understand the issue on my Transit.

You are good 👍 bro, thank you. Please if you have not done so already about all the senceres, please make more videos about each individual sencer how it works and exactly what it delivers. Also how to inspect them that they are faulty. Thank you very much and all respect to all honest people ❤

This video helped so much. Great explanation, definitely subscribing

Your video was helpful now I see why when crankshaft sensor is failing or just done it will trigger the 🚗 🖥 to strange things

🇿🇦 Excellent presentation and easy to understand.

learned far more than other videos taught. i've had 3 sensors go bad on me one completely failing. i'm wondering now if it's my harmonic balancer

Great tutorial..thank so much..❤..do more tutorial youre a blessings to d.i.y.guys..great video..

This just fixed a thousand headaches

Very informative video 😊I have a Suzuki tl1000r (vtwin) with No spark at the rear cylinder. I have changed plugs, coils, wires, checked connection to ecu for resistance, and continuity, the coils are getting 12v from the ecu. Only thing left is the crankshaft sensor, do you have any advice here? It still only fires on the front cylinder, so the sensor is good. How do I properly check the pickup/harmonic balancer?

This Guy is Really Good !

Holy moly described and explained to the “teeth”. Excelent video

need more videos like this 🎉

excellent video

Great video!

Great video 👍

Got my truck started thank you much

Great video. What if you have a new engine wiring, crankshaft position sensor and fuse box , but still getting P0339 code? What could be causing the issue? Also what is the name of the injector light tester you showed in your video? Thank you!

thanks for the info very usefull

Very helpful thanks you

Mann you are so awesome 😎 you broke down to the last compound 🤗

Thanks for the info!!

Excellent put explain it very well cover all basis.

Is it possible that my car stalls sometimes without any fault sign on the dashboard and error code in memory due to faulty crankshaft position sensor? Thanks for great video!

Great explanation

Great video buds cool 😎

Thnx buddy..well explained..SA👍

well explained

Thank you!

Thanks!

thank you!

brilliant Thx mate !!😄

Thank you 🙏🇦🇺

Thank you

Thanks for help but hard to reach as might as well change it instead of messing with it and shaking it like you said when it takes time to reach no 1 had time for rhat

Interesting I just replaced my crankshaft position sensor like literally yesterday.

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 have an old Jeep WJ. Iver replaced just about every sensor but the crank shaft position sensor. Every time I change a sensor, it helpped, but I think it is the crank shaft sensor.

Thanks bro

Helpful

Exelente

awesome !

On my Honda Jazz In last 5 months I have to change the crank shaft position sensor three times. Twice car stalled on highway soon after the engine light popped up. Third time I changed the genuine one from the dealer. But still while driving I feel loss of power occasionally 😮.

Thank you sir 👍🇦🇺

hey my friend I have a question for you, I have a problem with nissan titan 2014 sometimes it starts and sometimes it wont alraeady replaced cam and crack sensors but is doing the same thing when it doesnt start I DONT have INYECCION PULSE IN ALL INYECTORS so my question is which sensor is resposible for telling the computer to fire the inyectors when cranking I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME WITH SOME IDEAS THANKS MY FRIEND

Good day mate, I have a Holden captiva maxx 2007 model petrol, can you help me to locate camshaft position sensor bank 1.

Thanks

my 2011 chevy camaro SS does not start after refueling ONLY with Crankshaft position sensor fault code.... Any suggestions ?

Does a mass air flow sensor need to be program after installed reason for check engine came on after I unhooked the air cleaner to install air filter then I started to get purge codes p0442 and p0455 now I have oil leak can't find where it's coming from

you are the guru.. excellent

Cool thanks!! So I bought a Dodge Ram 2005 hemi 82 thousand miles it likes to stall out in the morning when taking off from a stop sign or backing out in the morning after warm up. My buddy who's has past said its done this since he owned the truck I'm the new owner what worries me they could never figure it out. I'm worried that this could be very dangerous if he took it to a dealership and they couldn't figure it out I might be left trying to figure it out my self . Man what you say sounds so it . I'm so sick of mechanics who charge a huge fee . I just got the plugs done 16 plugs $598 bucks no wires no coils just plugs. So with that said do I have to reset the new crank sensor when installing it back in and if so what needs to be done to do it in order for it to start correctly?

Thank you very much sir. Very useful video

The plastic on mine looks super worn. Is there a recommended interval to change it? My car is a 2015 Toyota.

Im remember learning this in school.

Thank you for good teachings. Did you write any book?

Can this apply the same to motorcycle like Hayabusa Gen 3? My bike fall on the left side where the stator housing got cracked. The CKP sensor was in the stator housing...After the incident, when I was riding my bike I feel someone was pressing the brake....the bike got lagged but it was still able to ride like normal. I went to installed Brembo Brake and clutch MC....this is where things got worst. The bike will bog, unstable accelerations and stall. At traffic lights(stationary) the engine will get very hot and stall. You have cool it down for 15mins and the bike is able to start. As it accelerates again it will feel like something is pressing the brake, lag and stall. The rpm is unstable and check engine and fi sign appears. Can this be the CKP sensor faulty?

Will it show up on the reader as something different?😊

Hello from Oamaru, South island New Zealand. I have a 2012 Spanish built Nissan Navara D40 St-X Diesel pickup. Engine is a Nissan - Renault partnership common rail with 165.000 K.m on clock. When idling it's lumpy then when attempting to accelerate it farts n missis then dies. It smokes a really white Hazy putrid smoke but no oil in coolant nor coolant in sump. There's no fuel dilution in oil sump. It starts but struggle.. S.c.v, e.g.r cooler replaced (but didn't require so) injectors tested fine. E.g.r valve actuator works fine. Any idea what may cause this grief?... Crank n cam sensors?. Thanks again in advance..Carl

Heat related intermittent stalling. Mine only acted up after running the engine about a hour. Placing ice on the sensor temporarily fixed the problem. That told me it was the crankshaft sensor, not the camshaft sensor, or the computer.

The camshaft position sensor is related to P0340 code. But a timing belt losing teeth often causes P0340.

Hello dear! Can you explain why my electrical gadgets are not working along with crankshaft issue that was detected by the ECU system. Im replacing the crankshaft for now but electrical problems still exist... I recently changed the battery 3 months ago. Could it be something else? Your advice would be of great value 🙏🙏😊

It can also be your map sensor or cam shaft sensor as all 3 of them control you power train of the motor so it could be either one of those sensors without a code

Lexus Gs400 my exact same issue I'm going to get me a crank shaft positioning sensor I'll leave an update. New subscribe thxs!

If my car idles ok but sputters bad when the car is put into gear, reverse or drive (auto trans) could that be a sign of a bad crank sensor?

Thanks for the video, I've been having this problem with my Wrangler JK, intermittent shutting off of the engine at very low speeds and it's been driving me crazy. Also got the camshaft position sensor bank 1 code so I'm replacing both with Mopar OEM parts, then using my Jscan app to reset the computer, hoping corrects the situation.

How do you fix Code P2227 & P2228 despite replacing the MAP sensor on a 2016 Chevy Cruze LT with 1.4 Engine? Thank you

When the middle of the flexplate breaks… could it cause the ring to hit the sensor and become damaged?

Greetings, I own a 1993 C3500 7.4 Truck & I cannot locate the crankshaft Position Sensor (CKG). I've seen references of between Harmonic Balancer & Timing Cover, in the Block above the oil pan, back of the block, or inside the Distributor. I've looked carefully, no loom wires, no port in timing cover, & I replaced the OEM Distributor with new OEM unit. Vehicle timing set to 4 degrees before TDC. Verified all spark plug & fuel inj. Vehicle starts, stalls, back fires.

Hi will the code p0349 no signal still be crankshaft sensor even though it comes up with camshaft sensor 2 no signal

I'm trying this next, my civic has been misfiring for a year and at times goes into limp mode, when I restart it it's not in limp mode temporarily. I've replaced many coil packs, fuel pumps, spark plugs, VVT solenoid, EGR valve, Throttle Body, PCV valve, I'm thinking maybe the crank sensor is weak , or cam sensor, or MAP sensor? Idk but I've had it with this war. It's stuck home in the garage.

So I replaced mine and it didn't help any on my 2008 honda accord. It didn't help it got worse. So I put the old one back in and then had it relearned. It worked for like a week. Then went back to limp mode. It's probably my wiring wouldn't you say? If the censor was bad it wouldn't of worked for that week I'd think

I'm getting a p1337 cil light. It's a 98 crv stock 5 speed manual. Car runs great and experiencing absolutely no problems. However light won't go away

i have w205 2.0 Engine 7G tronic. I have problem with not comfortable shifting to 2 and 2 to 3. At the moment of shifting, it feels like car stops for milliseconds and accelerate again. Do you think this can be due to crankshaft sensor?

I have an issue with my dodge ram 07 it stalls when I'm coming to a stop at light or sign.

Hi my 2006 sienna has a P0016 Code cam and crank out of correlation but no bad symptoms it turns on without hesitation and engine runs steady the problem started when i took it to a mechanic for a p00300 multiple misfire issue and he said it was a bent valve be removed the head on bank 2 and when i got the van back it had that new code P0016 i took it back he the took cam gear pully off and basically he couldnt figure it out. What can it be?? I benn driving it for a year everyfay like this.

So my car turns on but sometimes will turn back off after turning it on. Google says it might be the crankshaft sensor? Any thoughts?

Hi what happened when the cutting petrol when is running and show engene light then started misfiring
