ALL 11 symptoms apply to my Volvo S60 T5… Ordered parts last night to fix…THANK YOU!!!

[@paulchristianrea8868]

This exactly happened to me wiring issue connection to Camshaft sensor, the engine shutdown after 5 to 10 mins when the Check Engine Light comes. Thanks for the video.

[@JustScottPaid]

Very good video and excellent details. This is the best explanation of symptoms I have seen about this sensor. Thank you so much! Be safe friend!

[@TheAbJGarage]

I left my crown set for 9 months so i changed the fuel, the fuel filter, fuel pump put in a new battery and it wouldm barely start and run maybe 5 mins. Changed the camshaft sensor now its back to running like a top 😊😊

When the crankshaft sensor starts to go bad, it starts showing symptoms when it's cold. This is my own experience. You just can't find that information anywhere. You could easily think that there is a problem with the mixture ratio, although the crankshaft sensor may be the real culprit and may work well in warm weather, but at a certain degree of frost it starts to show symptoms.

[@TheAbJGarage]

Thank you very very much for sharing your wonderful experience! Well said! Pleasure to have you here!

[@Topsiekku]

@@TheAbJGarage And to clarify, when I talk about the cold, I mean that the symptoms occurred in freezing temperatures below -15 degrees Celsius.

[@LehlohonoloMolakeng-hm6vy]

Mine when is warm don't start

Very nicely detailed video. Have you posted a solution to fixing the issue with wiring? I believe thats my issues and would love to do a diy on it to get me back on the road!

[@lcatchmylazerl9245]

Yeah so I just bought a car and is making vibration noise and you can feel it at 2000-3200 rpm it idles at 1800 rpm very sluggish acceleration and misfire cuts in and out sometimes it’s hard to start and I checked the crankshaft sensor on the front and the connector is broken into pieces and was taped together on the sensor 😂 thanks for the video man hopefully it fixes it

[@masonpugh3637]

Accurate and great video thanks a lot When the car goes up the hill on a load it backfires and just driving normal it stalls I've changed everything oxygen sensors Thank you very much

[@TheAbJGarage]

Glad it helped

Man look I've been having issues with my jeep 03 4.7 V8 I just dropped a new motor in it and it just started this I've been narrowing it down I have the p1391 code car seems fine when starting out but at some point when warmed up it starts missing BACKFIRING at times real bad other times not loud but can feel it then goes away or the engine stalls I was thinking a coil cuz I had a code for that p0355 cylinder #5 miss I switched it with cylinder #1 coil and the code went away also had to fix my breather hose as it was making my jeep run funny as well know car runs good until the intermittent issue happens and it's really hit or miss but seeing this vid really narrowed it down esp the last few symptoms u named the over heating I picked up on recently when it started missing I pulled over and cut car off and I turned the key to on and checked my gauges and the temp was up past half not normal for my cooling system so this was added bonus for me to go ahead and replace my crank sensor I'll be doing the cam as well what sensor would u recommend for my jeep again it's 03 4.7l jeep grand Cherokee limited AWD with the N vin # thanks

[@user-tw5fx4uj7j]

Can and bad sensor just drop out on one coil pack I have a v6 the other 2 coils have spark but the 3rd has no spark have replaced coil have replaced ignition module it has power to the coil so can the crank positions sensor be the problem?

[@alexandersippel]

Sounds like my engine. My mechanic had to order 2 cam position sensors for my car.

[@aronnicocanham2251]

Good day Sir. I have a 2012 Chevrolet Corsa LDV bakkie 1.4i (utility shape). The car recently started stalling when stopping at a stop sign or releasing the gas while driving then it stalls, but would start up and stall again. This problem occurs when the bakkie is hot. Please advise if it is the crankshaft position sensor going bad ?

[@roadstar499]

will the check or service engine go on usually before a cam or crank sensor completely fails leaving you with a no start on side of the road? my plan is to hook up my scan tool as soon as service engine light goes on next time...thanks

[@DavidGutierrez-zi4dy]

gracias

[@TheAbJGarage]

Pleasure!

[@royalty2907]

Facts cause my car didn't wanna stop, after that my car never started again, it just clicks. Now I'm changing the piece, starter, and battery. Then I'll change my thermostat all tho it's not running hot. Still just to be on the safe side.

[@zimnesamsen]

Will a dirty crank shaft sensor with sludge and dirt on it cause a no start? I pulled mine out and it had a lot of oil and dirt caked on it.

[@cheriearnold6699]

Does it work now that you cleaned it.

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

This was definitely my problem I think I had most of these problems but after sensor it still was rough idle one time idk ?

[@escapingthematrix3]

Change the pcc and the cam sensor and your gold

[@escapingthematrix3]

Pcv

[@kaliman198117ify]

What pcv are you talking about

[@srta3743]

Hi may i know the part number for this sensor please

[@hardeeponline]

Need help urgently, My duster has given problems 1.grey-ish smoke in the morning. 2. Starting in the morning but not stating when hot. 3. Very poor milage. What could be possible be wrong.

[@TheAbJGarage]

Bad or worn valve guides could give smoke when starting in the morning!

[@aired-downdisconnected4125]

Old duster ??? May need some lead in it's diet.

[@huzainzain6683]

Bro..my 525d(f10) is power reduced..I cleaned turbo & injectors & pressure pump& vaccom sensor...there is no change..pls help..can u tell any suggestions..?

[@StevenKScuba]

Will a bad sensor cause for metal rubbing together sound

[@TheAbJGarage]

only when there is physical problem... like when the sensor is in contact with the teeth of the reluctor ring

[@mula_2472]

Does it cause oil leak on belts?

[@TheAbJGarage]

Most of them are externally mounted, and hence no oil leakage issues.

[@popoolaayodeji8088]

Will bad sensor cause my car to have occasional hardstart and rough start. ?

[@TheAbJGarage]

Absolutely!

[@ElBlogga]

What’s the cause of them going bad???

[@TheAbJGarage]

Overheating of the engine can result in the failure of the crankshaft sensor. Excessive heat in the engine has a detrimental impact on the crankshaft sensor and reduces its performance. Occasionally, the sensor cannot withstand the heat and begins to malfunction. The crankshaft position sensor might potentially fail due to a defective or shorted circuit. Because circuits are critical in sending signals from sensors the signals accurately and the sensor’s fundamental function will be in trouble if there is defective or shorted circuit. The other thing that can damage crankshaft position sensor is a mechanical damage caused by metal debris. Metal debris might potentially cause the crankshaft position sensor to fail. The magnet of the crankshaft position sensor can pick up small metal debris. A specific air gap exists in the crankshaft position sensor away from the reluctor ring. Metal shavings settle into these gaps, closing them up. As a result, signals are poorly generated and efficiency is decreased.

[@mariosierra4081]

My car only starts when the car its cold

[@rafaelvasquez3566]

Looping a video instead of actually showing sympathy or repairs is due still in my opinion. WTF

[@Cozcacuauhtli]

THANKS

[@TheAbJGarage]

Welcome

[@ERod28]

I have a 2017 Hyundai accent I just changed the crankshaft sensor it was bad next I cleaned the catalytic converter when I went to autozone to check why check engine light was one it said it was bank 01 that’s the upstream oxygen sensor right that’s my question ? It reads that it’s catalytic converter bank 01 ? That would be oxygen sensor upstream right ?
