it will not crank usually with a bad crank sensor usually this is a misunderstood code for the crank position sensor being out though as the code for that is the same as the code for the cam position sensor, more times than not the cam position sensor is the issue nt the crank. i have recently been throught his one myself and spent $40.00 i didn't have to by not knowing this and just replacing the cam position sensor and calling it a day.
IF the cam position sensor is gone out the car will still start but it will only catch and turn over if the starter is able to crank it at above 1100 RPM and when it does start it will be rough idle and the car will die as soon as you take your foot off of the gas pedal.
Question: where did you buy the new crank position sensor? I had the exact same problem with my 2004 Nissan Altima and bought new crank position sensor from one of the auto parts store. Put it in and same problem. I was baffled. Finally decided to get the crank position sensor directly from the dealer. Fixed the problem. This was my experience, not sure if your case will be the same.
Crank Position Sensor Is A Magnetic Sensor That Tells The ELectronic Control Unit (ECU) Which Position The Crank Shaft Is In. That Is Rotating And Top Dead Centre On Every Revolution. If Your Car Is Telling You About This Sensor Ocassionally Then It May Need Adjusting And /Or Cleaning ,It May Also Just Have A Dirty Connection Where It Plugs In .The Engine Will Not Start At All If This Sensor Goes Faulty
Check if you have spark on a plug wire when it is cranking over and wont start. If you have no spark, a good guess is the crank position sensor. Often the cause of no spark, but could also be the ignition control module, the camshaft position sensor, or the pcm. If you want to be sure before replacing the sensor, have the sensor tested while on the car. A shop could test it.
does your car crank,and not start. or does do nothing. if it cranks,and there are codes. saturn are good for having bad crank position sensors ,and coil packs. the crank position sensor is located in the back of the motor behind the starter
I am not sure where the crank position sensor is on your car but when the alternator belt broke on my Buick it trashed the crank sensor that is located next to the crank shaft pulley. The computer needs the crank senor to know the position of the crank shaft. If the sensor is bad the car will not start.
