Omega General Help / do i really need to change the crank sensor???

« on: 09 May 2009, 12:05:55 »

i did the paperclip test and got a code 19 as you may have read in my previous threads with the engine not revving above 3500 rpm

my question is, is there any chance the sensor is just dirty?

and 2. i was reading in the how to section on  changing crank sensor, written  i think by mark dtm, and it stated that the cs rarly fails and it is more likely the wiring inbetween. so can i just change the wire inbetween? i am an electrician so i do posed the technology

any advise please
