Crank Sensor Q
« on: 21 July 2008, 08:58:34 »
Hi guys, have put a few posts up previously about my Crank Sensor problems.
Changed it 2 - 3 times now, even still about every 200 miles the eml comes on and limp mode.

Each time i take it i out and find its covered in oil, clean it up and refit and then all is fine untill another 200 ish miles.

Should there be oil down in the hole where it fits?

If not any suggestions?

Cheers in advance guys.

Yes, it will get splashed with oil.

You are saying you've replaced, rather than just cleaned?  Its a hall type sensor, so cleaning won't do much anyway.

Replaced it twice with new ones from factors.
And lost count on how many times i have removed and cleaned it now.

Brings up o2 sensor and cam sensor fault codes as well as the crank sensor.  :-?

With taking it out and cleaning seeming to do the job temp thought that was it.
That would also knock the o2 and cranks sensor off then?  :o

Its not uncommon for a fault to upset the engine management into erroneously storing other faults.

Have you changed the cam sensor?  If not, I'd suggest doing that next, and use a genuine GM part as well.

No haven't changed it yet, will do now though.

Also, has someone near you got the ability to clear the stored codes so you know what you are dealing with?  Even a cheapo Tech2 should be able to do this, if any of your fellow Stokies have one?
