Hi.

If the check engine light is on there are codes stored on the ECU (the car's main control module). Do a DTC scanning (diagnostic trouble codes scan) using an OBDII reader. In US the scan can be done for free at the nearest Autozone. The resulting fault codes will tell us about the nature of the problem.

I dont know if you have tried this, but first change the glow plugs, if that doesnt work or you have tried that, then clean off the terminal where the glow plug cables attach to by the battery. Hope this helps

Are you sure it was the crank sensor that you replaced? The cam and crank sensors look identical. Was the engine hard or slow to start? If so, this will sometimes set this code.

Why does check engine light come back on after replacing crank sensor

The check engine light is still on because the fault identified by the computer was not caused by a failed crank position sensor.

This is something that you cannot afford to throw any more money at. Get a timing light to check to see if there is spark. Use a pressure guage to check fuel pump. Get bug lights to test injectors.

Check Engine light came on and car stalled

Crank Sensor usually have two function,1st the sensor sense the rotation of the flywheel and picks up by the sensor than the sensor send a sigle to your computer telling your computer to send sparks and fuel to to the engine. When sensor goes bad engine quits running, sometime check engine lights come on as computer is not sending no fuel or sparks. Some car has two sensor, one for the fuel and one for sparks. The sensor usually locate next to the flywheels near the main crank. Some are difficult to get to; others are easy. 4cyc on foreign are easy to get to compare to domestic. V6 front wheel drive I find it difficult and V8 rear wheel drive are better. If you plan to keep the car and fix it yourself, the best thing to do is invest and purchase Chilton Repair Manual if planning do it yourself, it will save you lots of money in the future. On 96' breeze should be a breeze to fix, from experience working on Dodge and Chrysler are fairly easy to work on.

Hi i have a 04 trailblazer and the check engine light go on, i take t autozone, they sid the crank or cam sensor it's the problem. my question is where is located and i want to know if i can do this by my...

The crank sensor is near the harmonic balancer or the lowest pulley on the motor. Should be fairly easy to change. Camshaft sensor should be at the rear of the engine on top. Also relatively easy to change.

1995 subaru impreza sometimes doesn't start, check engine light is on, also brake light is on.

If you get the check engine light diagnosed tht will probably show you where the problem is. You probably have a crank sensor code and will probably need to change out the crank sensor.
