How do I replacing a crank shaft sensor? - 1991 Buick Century

crank shaft or
ckp crank shaft sensor. CKP
broke the connector?

Crank shaft sensor.

Probably defective or incorrect sensor, sensor wiring connector problem (bent or corroded pins), improper installation (wrong orientation, not seated properly), etc. Why did you replace it in the first place?

If you replaced any vehicle sensor based on just a code
& no component testing, for a failed sensor, then you have
what you have
What were the codes & what is the problem?

The first thing you should do is remove your new crank shaft sensor and clean the mount point with a degreaser and your connectors with contact cleaner and a wire brush. Once you do this you should put your crank shaft sensor back in and see if it works if not i would suggest bring it back to the shop you got it and trying to have them replace it because more then likely if it still dose not work you may have gotten a bad censer out of the box.

I hope this helped you.

Thank you,

The crank shaft sensor is located on the front of the engine under the timing cover. In order to replace it you will need to remove the timing belt.

no each one has its own job,
crank sensor is counting crank shaft rpms
cam sensor is counting cam shaft rpms
is there any lights coming on just as this is happening?
i think you should have the fuel pressure checked when it dies out,you need at least 50psi at fuel rail

I changed all the parts I mentioned and finally I decided to try the crank shaft sensor and if that didn't work I was going to replace the cam shaft sensor. Luckily the crank shaft sensor worked but only after I replaced all the other parts. But at least now it finally started.

Thsank you.

It could be the pigtail {harness} that plugs into the crank sensor.

no they are the same thing
