MAZDA NOT STARTING OR RUNNING GOOD AFTER CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACEMENT

MAZDA NOT STARTING OR RUNNING GOOD AFTER CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACEMENT
If you have Mazda and you replace the crankshaft position sensor and the car does not start or the car is not running good and is misfiring we will show you what causes that and how to fix it. You may even get engine light on and codes that relate to timing being over retarted or timing being advanced. We demonstrated why Mazda may not start or run good after crankshaft position sensor replacement on Mazda CX-7 but it should work on multiple Mazda engines and models.

How can you check to make sure the adjustments are good after you install it

[@Thabzalzk]

Hi I am struggling to fit a loose wire on the plug that connects to crankshaft sensor. Can u help me please.

[@ajf4693]

I watched a different video installing it but didn’t show to time it. It’s no wonder I still have rpms surge. Had to buy this tool, thank you guys keep rocking🔥

[@clintdillman2950]

Awesome explanation, love the detail. I applaud you and your videos. Thanks a million

[@ZhTuR]

Perfect! Thanks for sharing!

[@steveoneil8814]

Good video to let you know what your in for. Not too difficult but things are more difficult when the engine is in the car. You cant easily see the teeth when the engine is on the car. I rotated the crank until i saw the gap. counted back 10 and made a mark. Turned again and counted 10 of the mark for 20. You can then see the mark when you align over the sensor.

[@tpax3p]

what is the best way to change it on the car? from the top where is the battery, wheel arche or ?? Cheers

very good guys i'm buying one tomorrow and they say may have timing chain issue however it has 300 thousand miles on it must be hwy miles so may be back for more info

[@AltruisticWarrior]

Wouldn't hurt to go ahead and replace the timing chain with that amount of miles tbh. These engines are nearly bulletproof otherwise. I've seen quite a few exceed 600k miles!

[@joogmanhd4878]

Hey I have a question there is also a cable that hooks to the sensor if I am replacing mine, do I need that cable also or do I just need the sensor

[@armanmaaba600]

Hello how is that timing tool pin. I can't find one here so i want to fabricate with same length spec?

[@Menace_sti]

Do know where the gap for the crankshaft should be facing when at TDC

[@skullmps]

Can be a reason for misfire !? Thank you mate great video

[@AltruisticWarrior]

Absolutely can. So can the camshaft position sensor. More likely than not though it's just the coil packs. They're prone to going bad on these because of the way they're designed. Can get 4 brand new Bosch ones from Rockauto for roughly 90 bucks. They have a lifetime warranty as well! They're far more reliable than the ones you can get at autozone or oriellys. Those never last me more than a year or so and even then I've had some have small hardly detectable misfires brand new. Made for BAD gas mileage though. I was down to nearly 10mpg

[@steezystev1717]

Is this the same for the sky active? Mazda 3

[@oscarespinosa5384]

I have a question, you said in another video that you have to count 22 spaces to have the time for the cranshaft sensor, now you say 20, could you tell me he much spaces are to fin this sensor?

[@zayn8810]

How many length . The pin timing bolt ?

[@rono3045]

if you were the one putting on that harmonic balancer and the new timing chain and you did it that way you might be wrong because top dead center could have been on an exhaust stroke..you need to look at the position of the cams also to make sure it's a compression stroke top dead center not an exhaust stroke

[@JD-ml7cg]

No need to do that.. The crankshaft pulley has a alignment hole. The hole should be in the 6 o'clock position as in the video. There is nothing about 20th tooth. Cps should be on the nearest tooth. Done deal

[@Monsterenergyoffroad]

So can you adjust the cps by using a bolt to keep the harmonic balancer in that position?

[@MartinX192]

The cam should be turning 1/2 speed of the crank. You could be 180 degrees out on the cam or as he said "exhaust stroke" unless of course this engine is 1 to 1 rotation crank to cam somehow@@JD-ml7cg

[@michaelhatfield7647]

I just changed serpentine belt on Mazda 5 2012 and it’s running rough on de-acceleration. I turned crackshaft pully to walk belt on and now those symptoms. Could it be timing from me turning crankshaft or separate issue?

[@getthegearnow-store2451]

On mine if i have the pulley lined up with the hole in the cover, the ninth tooth lines up. Not the 20th. I have 2 pulleys/balancers. They both line up with ninth tooth.

[@marklewallen9129]

Is it not possible to do it by leaving the bolt in....? Does it not serve the same purpose

[@richardriri464]

Can you help me? I've put a L3G motor from a 2002 Mazda Atenza Sport into a 2005 Mazda Atenza Sport 6 speed. I've changed everything from the 2005 motor over to the 2002 motor. The motor turns over then flattens battery. Dash fades when turn lights on.whatni. I've been told I need to change the crank shaft. Should I just do the timing like in your video or do I need to change the crank shaft and do the timing. Do you have a link so I can see where every thing on the loom goes to the motor. 1. DO I NEED ANOTHER CRANK SHAFT. 2. DO THE TIMING. 3. CAN YOU RECOMMEND A LINK I CAN USE FOR WHERE EVERYTHING ON THE LOOM GOES ON THE MOTOR. THANKS

[@steventrujillo2703]

Hay I watch all your videos on Mazdas however; I have a mazdaspeed3 2009 I took it to the dealership and they told me My mazdaspeed3 has check engine code p011 p0016 and p0301 as well as oil in my spark plugs do you think the engines work is worth fixing or should I purchase a new engine?

[@Pw-f100]

Probably a valve cover seal around the spark plug

[@sacredrodriguez850]

Hello I have 2005 mazda 6i 2.3 did a engine swap with a 02-05 jdm 2.3 motor. I had to swap timing cover, crank pulley, CKS sensor, valve cover, water pump pulley, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and throttle body. Now car cranks with slight start but cuts off immediately. I need advice on what I'm doing wrong?

[@ninevoltmodz4687]

I didn’t even use the alignment tool, if you go over 20 teeth to the left from the gap, and line up the 20th tooth on center with the sensor, it will be fine. The car runs really smooth, you can balance rocks on top of it.

[@rjb6327]

Nice. Now show us how to get to it.

[@SwichMad]

This helped me replace the Crankshaft sensor after a stall on the motorway. Unfortunately now the car only starts when cold (after a day), runs smooth for a few minutes then throws P0340 ( camshaft sensor fault ). Replaced sensor ( same symptom) . Checked cabling, voltages, etc, all seems fine. On the same voltage rail I have the O2 sensor and MAF, I`m running out of patience with this vehicle.

[@GRODRIGUEZ215]

Did you ever find out the issue? This is whats happening with mine now

[@SwichMad]

Have replaced timing, no joy, I have square wave at 0.6v from Camshaft sensor, square wave at 5v from Crankshaft sensor, yet the car would not start and throw the code. Tested the sensor on the bench and supplied with 12v it outputs 0.6v when away from metal and 0 when close - so it's not the sensor. Time to dig deeper

[@lincolnmech]

Make sure the sensor is aligned.. make sure engine is at top dead center during installation.. do a crank re learn procedure

[@shekharviswkhrma4201]

👍👍

[@danielwheeler175]

So will i need to do this if I’ve removed the harmonic balancer

[@dakkadakka9189]

Yes

[@nathangionet2088]

If we remove the bolt is there oil that will come out? Just making sure cause i need to do mine

[@irisroman8331]

No

[@brice5001]

What is the name of that 10mm purple bolt?

[@zuttoish]

not only tdc, you need it on compression stroke also

[@christianmendoza5799]

And how do you do that?

[@studdmuffnn]

Mazda service manual only ask for TDC for this.

[@zuttoish]

Rohan Ellis every mazda guide clearly State tdc cylinder 1 on compression stroke. Not sure where you found otherwise.

[@christianw.8129]

@@zuttoish It doesnt matter. The crank sensor tells the pcm when the piston is at tdc. The crank will have the same position either its on compression or exhaus stroke. The camshaft position sensor tells the computer the cam position (which defines the stroke via the valves).

[@perryj20]

Thanks for the video. I have this same engine you are working on in my 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. The car will start up; run great for one second then immediately die. If you try it again it will do the same; start then die. The engine check light is not on and there are no fault codes. Anyone have any ideas?

Very helpful bro, I have a similar engine, Mazda Atenza and after rebuilding it I was able to rotate the cranckshaft but after mounting on the torque converter along with the transaxle I could not rotate the crankshaft anymore, do you have any idea bro on what could be the problem? Thank you.

[@dakkadakka9189]

Is it in gear ? Problem with flexplate or torque converter ?

[@gabeo9474]

If your torque converter doesn't get seated all the way into the trans, then it will contact the flywheel and get pinched when the engine and trans are bolted together. I'm guessing this was the problem for anyone else that has this issue.

[@armandoollos8828]

I watched ur video. So I was inspired to buy a mazda3 2010 for $300. Nice little car. It was smoking white when turned on. Figured previous owner over heated it and head gaskets when out. I have watched ur video called step by step and when I put everything back together I turned on the car. Never started again. I took out the spark plugs and they where smashed in 1st and second cylinder only. 3rd and 4th were ok. I have gotten really good at taking off the cylinder head and timing components In less that 40min lol not bad for a person that's never worked on a mazda before. Anyone reading this? Has any idea as to what my issue is. Please let me know. Thank you.

[@armandoollos8828]

Ar this point I think it'll be cheaper dropping an used engine.

[@armandoollos8828]

I am shure it's a timing issue but I have done everything step by step and it doesn't turn on. Before it did it just smoke white when turn on.

[@randyloveday9220]

It is an interference engine. While the spark plug itself can't make contact with the piston, the valves will, if the camshafts aren't held in position. There is a tool to hold them in time. One or even both valves can get bent and broken off inside the combustion chamber. If the valve then gets caught between piston and spark plug area, you will then have smashed plug.
