i just change my cam sensor and the oil one had oil on it is this normal????? and my car still won't start wtf going have to buy the crank sensors wtf

 

Did the car start before you changed the sensor? Make sure the harness SNAPS in place... if it isn't FULLY SEATED, it won't start.

Oil on the inside part is normal...

 

nope the car had a hard time starting and now its just doesn't wanna start unless i get a push start lol and pop the clucth. and my rpms would jump (when driving or check rev) and autozone only had the camsensor in stock for 75.00 so i bought.i hope its the crank senor is the problem!! should i change both of them or just the one???

 

Sounds like you also have a starter problem or a low battery (which may also cause a bad idle. I don't think you needed these sensors (unless the ECM kicked out the codes.. and that doesn't mean you need them 100% of the time). Check your starting system and battery first.

 

i did a battery test the batt was ok and i did a ground test and it was good so im hopping it the crank sensor

ps did a code test and those to sensor came up crank and cam sensors

 

If the car runs after its push started its not those sensors. If those sensors were bad it would not run at all.

 

um i have code for the crankshaft sensor...it still running...i think i fukked it up when i took off the tranny and put it back it...

 

Like MardiGrasMax said, if the sensor actually failed (or disconnected) the car doesn't run... I didn't fully seat my camsensor back correctly when I did my S/C and I could start the car for a week. It would just crank over.

All they are are magnetic sensors, IIRC. The ECM occasionally kicks out 'wrong codes'.

Does the car 'crank over'??? If it doesn't, then you have (also?) another problem.

 

i did a 5spd swap...i got cel...my car runs perfect..well, as far as i can tell...only two odd codes i had as the crankshaft sensor and the air temp sensor..all other was solenoid code for the auto tranny...i reset the ecu and the air temp sensor code went away but the crankshaft sensor is still there...

 

now my car doesn't wanna even start when i turn the key wtf(no noise)!!! i thought i killed the battery i tryed to jump it and nothing grrrrr. is it the starter cause i had my dad turn the key and i hit the starter with a hammer and it kinda cranked etc..

 

bump!!

 

Check the connections to the starter (battery +)...
Using the old school "hit the starter with the hammer" will destroy the new starters they now use. You may need to buy a new starter (at least that).

 

You may need to test the sensor... Did you drop the sensor or something?

 

i just put a new starter in and thats it !!!!!!!!!! now my check engine light is on im think its the crankshaft sensor etc. we'll see im just glad ts starts now!! thanx

 

Reset the CEL... I would imagine if you tried to crank it over and it didn't spin the crank enough, that may trip the code. If it reappears then worry about it then.

 

im sorry but whats a CEL... and how do u rest it???

 

Check Engine Light...

Check this LINK from www.maximadriver.com... 1st column... ECU DIAGNOSTICS/RESET

 

o ya duh!! lol

do u have any idea y my rpms still jumpee????

 

the sensor i'm talking about is the sensor inbetween the engine and tranny...when i took off the tranny i didn't bother to take that sensor out...even tho haynes manual recommended to...but i dunnoe if i damaged it in the process of putting it back on...

 

Sorry... can't think of anything else for you two

 

i clear the codes on it its all good be the only problem now is that my rpms still jump wtf WHAT IS IT??!!!!!!!! help
