07 hhr won't start until the third try problem solve..

found out i had a bad ground going towards the fuel pump ..so i hook a wire straight from the ground of the pump to the chassis of the car and got it .it starts right away good luck to all of you and i'm sorry for my cursing

[@jfredswartz]

That is not a crank sensor, it is a cam sensor. The crank sensor is on the lower rear side of the engine (that is where the crank is located), on the bottom of the transverse engine. BTW, the camshafts are located on the top of the engine.

[@pauldrobles]

Even though you're kind of a turkey about it I still appreciate your comment. My ECU was throwing a code for crank position sensor but now I'm going to try The cam position sensor.

[@liccmynutzzzmaroftw]

am i the only one that finds the swearing funny 😂?

[@charlieallen8643]

No, most everyone finds profanity amusing, from children to the elderly, just one example of how people prefer the darkness of the world more than the light of Christ

[@liccmynutzzzmaroftw]

[@followyourbliss101]

not knowing one's way around an engine can be frustrating, but when it turns out to be a $5 part, that's gotta feel good in the end.

[@juanolvera5471]

It’s called the camshaft sensor

[@user-uv1qw4ju2x]

Thank you. I changed the mass air sensor. The cam sensor was my next move. Thanks for the confirmation.

[@in2carlos1]

It’s called a camshaft position sensor

[@InTheFleshInc]

My 2007 HHR is cracking over but no start and code came back P0016 crankshaft position intake camshaft position not plausible so I'm hopeful it's the exact same thing I will be replacing it and respond back I appreciate you uploading this.

This was a great help. Thank you

That's one pissed off Brazilian. Great video.

Hahaha...wrongggg....I'm not Brazilian I'm from CHICAGO IL ectually lol...but thanks

[@kennethkelley3010]

For those who drive a Chevy HHR on this video the guy said he change his crankshaft sensor is Ashley Call cam shaft sensor I change the cam shaft sensor my car started up with no problem now so if y’all having problems with your car starting up change the cam shaft sensor first

[@kevinroach9380]

Billy Bobs Garage! Throw everything at it until it's fixed! Troubleshoot dude!

[@JamesLDurham]

Thanks, I’m in the same situation, but on a road trip. I may be able to pick one up. Thanks again.

[@santiagoreich4720]

U know what the last thing I did on my car ,I send a hot wire the I hook it up on a fuse straight to the fuel pump main wire so it give it more power I guess the one originally from the pump worn out and corrode it so ones I did that my car start at the very first try so good luck buddy

[@melissareid640]

Thank you Sir. Take care

[@gregoryharrison9976]

Yes this helped. But I replaced the Crank shaft position sensor and still did the same thing. It will turn over but no start. I hooked up ground to starter, didnt work. Check all fuses and got starter and battery test- all good! I am going to try the ground to the fuel pump and then if that and test the Camshaft sensor to see if I can get it to work. electrical issue ssuck!!

[@santiagoreich4720]

ETHER ground thge fuel pump better or run a straigh cablefrom the power cord of the fuel pump to the battery and itr should start .......thr proiblem is the connection from the [power cord to the battery

[@lilmexicosikemahkuh9928]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@shaneivawilson7255]

Mines won’t crank and I have changed the crankshaft sensor I need help on what’s to do next

[@ronaldmckinney5693]

That``s the camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor is just above the starter

[@DanielFreeMan365]

It can be your fuel pump as well if there is no fuel pressure as was the case with mine

[@santiagoreich4720]

True actually it was a hot wire going from my fuel pump to the fuse box so I ran the wire all the way down there and replace it ...so finally got it going . But the car it's gone now lol

[@user-io5bt7di8o]

Mechanic just said our fuel pump needs replaced, is $850 reasonable? I feel like there should be a disclaimer on those HHRs that you need to be a mechanic before purchasing one. Just seems to be a money dump after only 70,000 miles.

[@noelrivera1485]

850 to change the fuel pump is a rip off it's super easy to replace yourself

[@kennethkelley3010]

I have a 2011 Chevy HHR when I drive with the AC on the car won’t cut back on when I drive without the AC cranked up perfectly what causes a problem

[@thomasvanhorne4796]

exhaust and intact sensors where are they on the hhr 2007?

[@dtail4u]

Did it pop a code on your dashboard? Just curious

[@underdog365]

I have a hhr 2008 no start no crank I check the fuse and the starter. The scanner saying ou 100 so that mean no communication brand new battery I don't know what the problem is

I'm getting an electric burn smell when I'm cranking it and it doesn't start. Any idea?
