GasSaver. ------ For only 4% of a hybrid cost, OFS can turn any vehicle into a hybrid-like vehicle. It's called Fuel-Efficiency Tune-up. It increases gas mileage and horse power. Making the right choice today will save you moneys for many years to come.. http://www.extra150miles.com Hi. Had problem with the crank shaft position sensor. was intermittent. the engin control module would sense a problem and shut the engine down, it would start after 20 minutes ok. M.B. replaced sensor $548.00 works ok now. larry. >> anyone with experience of failure this part please explain symptoms and >> cost to fix. Tnx.

The crank position sensor is what giving you an intermittent problem due to sensor's magnetism getting weak (man-made type of magnet), usually this problem manifests after 7 years, the coil that generate the impulse depends on the strength of a magnet. A crank pos sensor can be dead also like crankshaft sensor but rarely. GasSaver. As below, it is important to make a difference between the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. Crankshaft position sensor failures are not rare, the first symptom typically is that the car does not start with a warm engine but starts again when the engine (sensor) has cooled down a bit. > Hi.

I call it "Crank pos. sensor" instead to avoid getting confusing with Camshaft sensor. About 700K people on Google calling it "Crank Pos. Sensor", only 400K people calling it crankshaft pos. sensor. We should stick with "Crank pos. sensor" > Hi. Had problem with the crank shaft position sensor. was intermittent. > the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > larry. $548 ? Gee that's too much. $65 at NAPA Parts made by impulse, works well too. To prevent it from dying again I sealed the sensor tip with sealing, and I tested it vigorously at very high heat and high speed 90mph. GasSaver. >> Hi.
