Hi all, hopefully someone can help. I've got a 97 and it is giving me an odd combination of things going bad. They day before it starting going haywire everything was fine, no problems at all.

The next day i hop in and everything seems fine until a little bit down the road the power steering went out, battery and brake light came on, and it starts to miss and wheels shake at about 45 - 50 mph.

I've got codes P0400 (EGR), P0325 (Knock sensor), and 2 codes showing P1335 which i read is the crankshaft position sensor.

The egr and knock sensor code have been on for a while but the two 1335's are new and i assume having something to do with the problem.

So my question is, can a crankshaft sensor cause problems with the power steering? I seen that the battery and brake light mean alt problems but why would that throw a 1335 code?

Anyone else had these problems? Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Sounds like you experienced a stall or near stall which is why your power steering stopped and the warning lights came on.

Start by replacing the crank sensor. There are 2 sensors, make sure you get the correct one.

 

yes, cranksensor can cause all types of issues. Replace it

 

The battery and brake lights together mean the alternator isn't charging. The power steering could mean you lost the belt.

Check the belts for the alternator and the power steering pump.

 

The front CKPS harness wire is near the PS and main belt that runs the alternator. Check to see if a broken belt could have knocked the front CKPS plug loose or damaged the harness wire.

A picture of the CKPS harness wire and plug is below.
