The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM or ECM,ECU), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

It sounds like your new crank sensor is defective. It should be under warranty.

Camshaft position sensor correlation bank 1 code

timing belt is off by a tooth or two. you probably didn\'t have to replace the coolant sensor; that code sets whenever the sensor is disconnected and the ignition is turned on; and it needs to be reset by disconnecting the battery or with a code reader. anyway, the crank/ cam sensors are out of sync. if you\'ve got the twin cam engine, they are a royal pain to get the belt to lay properly on the two cams.

1998 Ford Escort starting problem after driven.

You did not say anything about the fuel system. Have you checked the fuel pressure ? Has the fuel filter been replaced this year ?
Is the check engine light on when the engine is running ?
Could be low fuel pressure or a faulty throttle position sensor among other things.

1998 Buick LeSabre stalling.

Fuel trim will help,if the number are both positive at idle and go positive at a higher RPM you dealing with a fuel issue.There beem times the pressure regulator acts up,The EGR wont be the problem,you are stalling at idle,The famous crank,cam or ignition module,use a voltmeter or labscope measure the crank signal out put if its lower than 5 volts the ECM wont give a fuel signal.and the cam will not sychronize,I am going with the most popular failure a crank sensor as the solution,

Replaced the transmission now im not getting spark from my plug wires

It's the crankshaft positioning sensor, beleive it or not others have had same problem!Since the transmission was removed and replaced. The sensor is located on the bellhousing. It has two bolts that hold it on the upper trans.bellhouse and a pigtail that connects to the ECM. The sensor actually reads the flywheel revolutions,any grease,oil or just plain misalinement of the sensor and you won't get a spark. One other sugestion is a short in the pigtal of the Ignition Coil. I've come across that too!

My 2000 impala will not start. I've had my starter, batt, & engine all replaced. I've begin to suspect my auto theif system as the reason its not starting after a lot of online research, but...

I had a Nissan doing this to me a little while ago, but couldn't figure out the problem. A couple weeks later, the lady told me she took the car to a shop and they replaced the crank and cam sensors. My bet is that it was the crank sensor.
