Why It Happens

The crankshaft position sensor tells the engine computer the engine's position and speed; when it fails, the computer loses that signal and the engine won't run properly or start. These sensors fail with heat and age. Replacing the sensor restores reliable starting.

  1. Diagnosis to confirm the sensor as the cause
  2. Inspection of wiring and related parts
  3. Replacement of the sensor with a quality part
  4. Test to confirm reliable starting and running
