Just got done changing the crank position sensor on a 2013 Sahara Jeep. No codes, had died while running down the highway 4 times in the last 3 weeks.Thought it might be fuel pump/filter, changed sensor, no more skipping, dyeing or power loss. Easy $40.00 dollar fix compared to a $900.00 fuel pimp. Thanks for all the enlightning information.

I watched this video earlier today and as luck would have it i ran across a car that was exhibiting the same symptoms in this video and after running it on a scan tool it was the crank sensor. Thanks for the great video.

Yo, I just wanted to let you know that the videos you create rock! You have a winning template, nicely done!

I had just fixed a 2014 jeep that had sensor intermittently stalling the car. It had NO LIGHTS, NO OTHER SYMPTOMS ASSIOATED WITH A NORMAL SENSOR FAIL. aside from random stalling. Always check your sensors first. Best of luck to you all ❤

[dr.strangelove]

Thank you a ton! All the symptoms match what my car is doing.

I'm going to get a new crankshaft position sensor. Wish me luck!

[Pmemox]

Always get OEM, had many that the aftermarket sensor was bad right off the box!!

[JairusApolina]

Dude. This information is spot on! Cristal clear explanation!

[RandomAssKhaos]

We’ve put probably about $700-$800 into my 1997 Eclipse GS trying to figure out why it shuts off while going down the highway and refuses to start for 5/10 minutes and doesn’t throw a code, we’ve replaced everything fuel and electronic that we think it could be, the CPS is the last thing we can think it could possibly be, and talking to multiple friends, reading posts, and seeing videos like these really helps solidify our suspicions

[obafemiadeyemi]

Experienced all these issues yesterday apart from the last. Also the car did a overheating without signaling on the dash board. A Corolla 2005

I just fixed my expedition because of you ❤

After talking to my mechanic and much Googling, I’m almost certain this is the issue. This video summarizes everything I’ve read and experienced with my 2016 Kia Soul 1.6L engine.

We already replaced the alternator two days ago after a reading at AutoZone told us the voltage regulator in the alternator was bad - the voltage ripple was at 8.00V (max acceptable at 0.05 V). Replaced the alternator and thought all was well until today when it didn’t start. Back to AutoZone, same reading. So we knew it had to be either a bad alternator, or more likely, a different issue altogether.

In reference to this video, I have not had the check engine light come on, or having the engine stall (thank goodness), but I’ve experienced every other symptom. This is including the hard start/no start and loss of power, which only occurred when my car did a hard start after an extended period of the engine cranking and not starting. Once it finally started, the tachometer read 0 RPM (even though the engine was running) and the traction control light came on. Driving it that way, it was very “lurchy” when coming to stop and releasing the brake. It was also nearly silent while stopped at stoplights. I also could not accelerate well - I had to go 35 in a 45 with my hazards on just to get home after the first time this happened.

Luckily I figured out how to work around that by restarting the car so it runs correctly. If it does this hard start with the 0 RPM/traction control light, I turn the car off and immediately back on and it starts normally.

My husband and I are going to try getting the CPS replaced, or do it ourselves.

Thank you for this video! It confirmed my suspicions. I will try to return to this comment and update if all goes well.

[AngryDad.]

Thanks so much! Great video. I'm going to change it tomorrow and see if that fixes the issue. Will update

[morecowbell]

Thanks for the video! I'm tracking down an issue, codes P0201, P0202, P0203 open circuit for every fuel injector. No way they are all bad so I'm thinking ECM/PCM or perhaps a bad coil. Then lastly, crankshaft sensor as it exhibits a lot of the same symptoms. Rough idle, flashing check engine light, loss of power etc. I'm going to start testing coils using the fuse and go from there.

[biancalbbh]

This all makes so much sense now. I can not wait to change it tomorrow. Thank you so much for making these videos!!

[garciahome]

O-ra-le.... Great video! To the point in explanation systems involved, the relationship and the functional process, and procedure to solution.👏

[dianamcilroy]

Thank you for the video I think that's what happened with my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo ( so my mechanic says) your video was great you got to the point you didn't go on and on and on and on Love it 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💖

I have a 2007 Chevy equinox and they made this vehicle from 05 to 09 I think. I’ve change the crank sensor and had problems cause wouldn’t start ruff idle and cut off. The point I’m getting at when you change the crank sensor replace it with the exact part manufacturer that came out from the vehicle not all manufacturer wire there crank sensor the same.

My vehicle I went with a brand call “WVE” from rock auto.
The original part that u remove from the vehicle will have numbers and should match up with the part u will have to buy. This goes for both crank and cam sensor.

Thank you and me

My 2007 Mazda rx-8 is having an issue where I have to jump it to kinda force start it and after cranking for a while it’ll turn on but reeks like gas and makes weird noises in the engine, I replaced my spark plugs, ignition coils, and spark plug wires just recently and it misfired recently. I chanced my air filter and cabin air filter and no luck so hopefully this could save me❤️

U got my sub thank you, no nonsense details 🤙👌
