20679, Ok removed crank sensor now need a lil more info
Posted by PUNKINPLAID, Apr-18-02 09:00 AM
Ok I removed the crank senser now i need a little info on what kind of tests i can do to see if thesenser is bad or not. and one more thing could the power transistor cause the car to have no spark? If so where exactly is teh power transistor and what kind of tests could be performed on that?

i saw your other postings too.. I had one question.. have you actually taken out a spark plug and left it connected to the wires, turned the car over and seen if it actually isn't sparking (while grounding it's threads of course)? Cause a car turning over and just not running could be alot more things then just no spark.

After Each part replaced I have hooked a plug to a plug wire and turned the engine over checking for a spark my grandfather even went a step further and stuck a screw driver inside the spark plug wire and still no spark. Im not sure if the power transistor has anything to do with spark or not or if my 95 GS even has one but its down to 3 things. Crank sensor, Power transistor, or wireing harness. Just wish I knew what kind of tests to perform on the crank sensor to maybe save a lil time and or money.

It is not an expensive part as these things go. See if you can get one from a local junkyard first, swap it in and see if it starts. Offhand, i do not know a way to test it.

so did you have to drain the oil from the engine before you took off the crank sensor? also, what do you torque the sensor to when reinstalling it....mine is leaking and i have to replace the seal. tia
