    I am working on an 1998 Sable Mercury and would like to find out how to remove the front Crankshaft damper pulley. How to in the new one

    HI

    is this a known problem on these cars? I think I have the same problem...when I start my car, the engine starts but none of the pulley's rotate. I can easily pull on the belt (yes it is tightly on) and all the pulleys turn as well. I got under the car and noticed that when I pull on the belt the crankshaft "pulley" itself does not turn but where the belt "rides on" that turns freely.

    Basically I have the same question, how do I change it?



    Thanks

    Amer

May i see the location of the crankshaft position sensor on a 2003 Mercury sable ls premium sable 3.0L

USA car? yes/no? lost spark did you>? or DTC p03xx errors>?
that sensor is called CKP, and on cars engines it can be many places, some even oddly places, it is not the cam sensor CMP
the 2003 , 3.0 liter V6

the manual covers this.
https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

i will show a photo of it mounted, just using google . (brave)

some times just pretend to buy the part at the dealer, Merc
and see where it is , at ford.com
the dealer says it also fits Ford Mustang 1996 - 2014
that fact makes it more easy.
oooooohooooooo , there are 2 engines that year,
2 valve and 4 valve per cyclinder, oops not told shown in the service manual
2V
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor:
  • is a variable reluctance sensor.
  • is mounted on the engine front cover.
  • is triggered by a 36-minus-1 tooth trigger wheel located on the crankshaft pulley and damper.
  • provides base timing and crankshaft speed (rpm) to the powertrain control module (PCM).
4V, ok , luck you its the same but not CMP

1998 mercury sable won't start no fire to plugs or fuel any ideas.

make sure when ignition is turned on or when cranking engine that immobiliser is disengaging.also locate crank angle sensor usually mounted in bellhousing to read off flywheel or at crankshaft damper pulling.inspect and clean magnetic side of sensor and connection terminals also possible damage to cable

I'm having trouble finding a crank shaft pulley for a 96 mercury sable

This is called a harmonic balancer and the purpose of the rubber is to allow the crankshaft power impulses to be cancelled out by the steel pulley bonded to the rubber . It will available as a genuine part and most good aftermarket shops and engine rebuild shops will have them in stock. All you may have to supply is the vin number of the vehicle or the engine family letters of the plate

Where is the crankshaft positioning sensor on a 2001 mercury sable

on the engine block by the pulley:

f051b5a.gif
It is the plug-looking part with the wires.

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a variable reluctance sensor that uses a trigger wheel to induce voltage. The CKP sensor is a fixed magnetic sensor mounted to the engine block and monitors the trigger or "pulse" wheel which is attached to the crank pulley/damper.

Need to know what fires coil 1995 mercury sable both wires to coil have power when key is turned on car cranks no spark from coil new coil what gives the coil extra power to fire

what engine? 3.0L 2 Valve? 4 Valve?
3.4L SHO engine?

The PCM (engine computer) fires the coils, but it is never the cause of a problem. I suspect it is the crankshaft position sensor on the front of the engine by the crank pulley. easy to change.

Crankshaft Position Sensor The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) (6C315) is a variable reluctance sensor triggered by a 36-minus-1 tooth trigger wheel located on the crankshaft pulley and damper. The signal generated from the crankshaft position sensor is called the crankshaft position (CKP) signal, which provides base timing and crankshaft speed (rpm) information to the ignition control module (ICM) (12K072). Base timing is set at 10±2 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) AND IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. The powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) will use this information with the spark advance information to determine ignition coil (12029) turn on or turn off time.
