Thank you so much for this very helpful and informative video! We have a 2013 Equus and it's giving us the exact problems you described in this video. By being your video, it's letting my husband know he's on the right track, and confirming his suspicion of what's going on with the car. Thank you so much for this helpful video!

Informative, no bs. It was nice knowing what tools I would need. Well done.

When the crankshaft sensor starts to go bad, it starts showing symptoms when it's cold. This is my own experience. You just can't find that information anywhere. You could easily think that there is a problem with the mixture ratio, although the crankshaft sensor may be the real culprit and may work well in warm weather, but at a certain degree of frost it starts to show symptoms.

GREAT VIDEO BRO. After winter my batterie in my S2000 died, I replaced it and the car started, but it didnt run smooth. The power was low, revs fell off and missfiring started and it cut out. I thought that was probably the Ignition coils. Replaced them and the car ran better but vibrations were getting higher the warmer the engine got. Then I got a tool to read the fault and it said Crankshaft position sensor. I erased it, it wont start anymore but now i definetly know why. It all makes sense after watching your video. I really appreciate your Content
