    cant find crank sensor

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    From reading here on the forum, you might look into some other things - look at the fuel system - filter, pump, etc....

    One solution involved the Throttle Position sensor.

Just because the crank sensor sets a code that does not mean the sensor is defective, it means there is a problem in the crank sensor circuit, that can be the sensor, the sensor connector, the sensor wiring or in some rare cases the PCM (computer)

SOURCE: no power to plugs or coils wont start

You sghould check to verify that fuel is reaching to the rails. There is a possibility that there might be a fuel blockage before the rails

SOURCE: The car cranks but won't start

Ok, check the following below--

1. Check the Ignition control Module for its operational value. it may be damaged.

2. Check the coils.
3. Check the plugs and wires.
4. Check the ECM/PCM/ECU(All represent the same device that is commonly known as the engine control computer)

Check these areas thoroughly for faults. I would also advise to replace the fuel filter and fuel pump as well.

SOURCE: i have 97 chrysler lhs 3.5l that just died on me

I would check the timing belt probably broke. Best way pull the cam sensor out take a flashlight shine it down in the hole and have someone turn it over. u should see it turning if you don't the timing belt is broke. good luck

turn over or run
turning over is cranking but not starting/running
not turning over indicates seized motor , bad battery starter motor problems , bad ground
turning over is cranking but not starting ---broken timing belt/chain, crank/cam position sensors , no fuel , no spark , no injector operation
best run the fault codes as the fauty will be recorded there

BMW 318i starts fine but once you drive it for 5 minutes switch it off, it wont start again.

sounds like a engine sensor i'd guess at the crank sensor but to be sure you would need to get the OBD codes read , this will give the exact fault so wont waste money trying sensor(s) on a hit an miss basis,you can buy a code reader online not expensive just make sure it covers your vehicle make then you have a valuable diag equipment for future use

There will be a camshaft and crankshaft sensor so be sure you replaced the correct one. The code its giving you is a dead sign of no start and a bad sensor. Make sure its electrical connector is hooked up tight and its seated properly.

2000 v10 ford f350 wont start with out either

If the crank sensor circuit is malfunctioning, then that is your problem. The code does not mean that you must replace your crank sensor. (sometimes it means this, sometimes it does not) The code means that either the crank sensor CIRCUIT is out of range or the crank sensor cannot SYNCRONIZE with the cam sensor. There is a whole lot more to diagnosing a crank sensor circuit than simply replacing the crank sensor. Proper diagnostic procedures need to be followed to locate the exact cause of the problem.

Make sure battery has a full charge. Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse.

WONT START WHEN COLD CRANKS FINE. HAS CODE 54 CAM

ok, any obd code means the sensor concerned is not detected by the ecu, or is way out of range of the normal signal the ecu expects. I would therefor check the electrical path between the sensor and the ecu terminals, it may be just a chafed cable or wire.
