Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement [*]



Great write up! Had to replace my seal. Took me 20 minutes and a 15 dollar seal. When the dealer wanted to charge $175! Glad I got directed to this post. I have a Kobalt portable impact and it took the bolt right out.

Fantastic write up and diagnostic details. I have been chasing this "ghost" for about three years. I must have a short in the wire or a tempermental sensor. Sometimes it does it orten and then will disappear for a while. Any one in the Houston area in for a mod day?

couldn't figure out what ghost, my car has a ghost also, sudden very brief deceleration, any relation to yours ?
 


Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was trying to get some info on replacing my crank position sensor. I found but the click here takes me to a error page, can anyone help?

I have gotten to the install and it says to torque the harmonic balancer bolt but no torque value given, anyone got that off the top of there head?
 




The nut that holds the balancer on; does it undo clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Got a local garage going to replace my sensor and they asked me to find out, as they have never worked on a Pontiac before!
 
Thanks BillBoost37!

Damn mechanics from 2 different garages have declined to fix my car despite the fact I have the part, and info from this forum to replace it. Got a 3rd garage looking at it next week, but will have to see how successful they are. Cost me a fortune on labour so far, and issue still not resolved!!!
