Hello the sensor is there for timing purposes. if you choose to remove it the motor will have to make several rotations before it actually starts. i had the same issue with an aurora by Oldsmobile. the dealership accidentally knocked off the wire to the sensor and that was the result. my car would turn over 3 or 4 times before it started.

1st, Nissan had a recall on Crank position sensors for 2002-2006 Altima's. Check with you dealer before you go doing any repairs. You may discover you can get your car repaired at no charge.
NHTSA Campaign ID number :O7V527000
Symptom: Erratic behavior. Stalling and no starts and very difficult to diagnose due to the time frame in which the component actually malfunctions. The warranty should not be limited to the original owner.
I would also need more specifics as to which engine you have so I might assist you in where the location of the sensor is. The Altima had a 4 and a 6 cyl engine offered that year.

You must be right, the sensor connection could have been moved. Have the mechanic do the checking.

Hi Njuguna. Undertake computer diagnosis of the engine, probably the crankshaft sensor is faulty and needs replacement. It could also be due to weak battery that will equally require replacement.
Testimonial: "Sure, the problem was Crankshaft , i changed it and its not switching off, well i do have another problem where the idling of the car is soo low how can the idling be adjusted "

Have the same problem in our 2002 Spectra. The bad news we received was that in 2002 Kia put some not so good engine blocks in that allowed the crank keeper key to "hog-out" it's slot. This allows the crank to shift a little in timing, which makes cam sensor error and make check engine light come on. Even with a new sensor, it will happen. Our mechanic's best advise was to drive it, local only, until it finally gives way, then find used engine, either newer or older. The only year it would appear to affect is 2002. If your mechanic tears the engine down as though changing timing belt, he or she should be able to see if this is the case.
