Where is the crank sensor located on a car? The crank sensor is one of the most important sensors in a car, if not the most important. Without the crank sensor or if the sensor itself is faulty, a car might not start or it might have issues while running, like cutting out. This sensor is the one that is going to feed the electronic control unit with a signal that measures the engine's revolutions per minute. Without the crank sensor feeding the RPM signal, the electronic control unit is not able to control the ignition system timing properly. Common issues regarding a faulty crank sensor are misfiring, backfire, engine experiencing an irregular idle, the acceleration behavior becomes irregular, the engine won't start after heating up but has no problems starting once it cools down again. Most common causes of a crank position sensor failure are by exposure to extreme heat. This problem has been solved with more recent car models because the latest crank sensors are now...

Solved Crankshaft Position Sensor Problem The 99 3400 has two Crankshaft position sensors. we have the 24x sensor that measures 24 times per turn. this is right behind the crankshaft pulley. This sensor is responsible for RPMs and timing. now my car was kinda sputtering every once in a while and sometimes the tack would get squirrel. but it would have maybe a 1 to 2 second time period when it wouldnt function correctly, then all would be normal, and this was only when i was at full running temp. ok so replaced it like two nights ago, and had to get new crank pulley unfortunatly for not using the right tool. so i have a new 24x sensor and crank pulley on. now tonight  started it up turned on the ipod... died... so now what could it be? ugh.... start her back up and start driving. rpm guage bounced a few times and she starts sputtering... then while driving...it dies. throw it in neutral, start it back up and keep going. now keep in mind the check engine light didnt come on... it...

Where Is Pontiac Crankshaft Position Sensor Located. I have taken crankshaft pulley/harmonic balance off and there are no wires or a sensor behind it there is only the timing cover plate.

How To Test fuel pressure regulator I own a 2000 Pontiac Grand AM SE 4 cylinder two door. I have sparodic but continuing problems with my car not starting up after i have made mutliple stops shopping. When it does not turn over, I leave it for a half an hour and come back and it starts up. I have noticed that when I pop the hood and check the oil guage the engine is very hot. It seems when it cools down it starts. I have been told this problem is perhaps related to an oil sensor or perhaps oil pressure. The "Change Oil" indicator on the panel is always on, even after I have the oil changed. You should check the fuel pressure regulator at the end of the fuel rail. There is a vacuum hose on it. Pull the vacuum hose off and check for raw fuel inside it. If there is raw fuel, replace the regulator. You might need to test this several times, or when the vehicle will not start.  what can happen is the regulator will leak fuel into the cylinders flooding the engine...

Pontiac Firebird: Fuel gauge and oil pressure. What would cause the fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge to peg and stick at the top. Where is the oil pressure sending sensor located Pontiac Firebird? The oil sending unit is located at the oil filter boss on the engine block. I will attach an image to make it easy to locate. When the oil and fuel gauge stopped working,did they both go out at the same time? not at the same time. oil gauge went first and then there was quite a period of time before the gas gauge did it. The fuel gauge *may* have lost is ground or it is corroded. I can supply you with the ground location if you would like? the gauge works on resistance,at 0 ohms it reads empty at 90 ohms it would read full. with an open circuit or a bad ground it would of course peg it up above full. if you find that the ground is good most likely the fuel sending unit has failed. On the oil gauge,it isn't uncommon when pulling the o...

Car backfire Car Backfire Causes Car Backfires on Acceleration Exhaust Backfire Car Backfire Repair Car Backfires and Stalls Cause of Engine Backfire Troubleshooting Engine Backfires Symptoms of a Clogged Fuel Filter What causes a car to run rough? What does it mean when my car turns off while I am driving? What problems can the check engine light possibly indicate? Credit:   Johner Images - Kohvakka, Kari   Brand X Pictures   Getty Images Cars backfire for several reasons, including air and fuel mixing due to leaking hoses or other mechanical problems. Faulty spark plugs or wires can cause a car to backfire. It can also occur when shifting to a lower gear in a car with high horsepower.  Backfire is a small explosion produced by a running engine outside the combustion chamber. When unburned fuel mixes with air, it can ignite when an intake valve opens. Visible flames may shoot from the car's exhaust pipe and ...

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON A lit check engine light in a vehicle is indicative of one or more problems including faulty oxygen sensors, leaking hoses or manifolds, damaged fuel injector O-rings, a blown head gasket and a loose or damaged gas cap. A blinking check engine light indicates an emergency problem that requires repair. Dealing with a check engine light on your vehicle’s dashboard can be frustrating. While the little light is meant to warn you of a problem – what the problem exactly is can be a mystery. Somewhere inside your vehicle, something happened to trigger the light. Although you'll probably have to take your car to the shop to get the exact answer, there are a few things you can do immediately after seeing the "service engine soon" light turn on for the first time. The most common cause of a lit check engine light is a faulty or loose oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor measures the oxygen content of a vehicle's exhaust, allowing the comput...
