Cam sensor and crankshaft sensor replacement 1993- 2005 buick lesabre

[@appleappbuff]

I have a '02 Buick LeSabre and your video made this job so much easier to figure everythig out. Thank you so much.

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for the great feedback , it is much appreciated.

[@bigheadmorton237]

Thanks for the advice. One bump of the key and popped right off. I only wish i had watched this video before i spent 100 dollars on an impact wrench that wouldn't remove it. Thank you

[@s33therfan]

Glad it all worked smoothly , thanks for the feedback.

[@carroll6]

it appears that you have plenty of room to work. It "appears" this way. Thank you for making this video.

[@s33therfan]

Thank you for watching , I hope the video was a great help

[@micthegreasemonkey2918]

Any idea what the resistance of the acdelco cam sensor should b ? Mine is measuring 1700ohms is that ok?

[@alvarolozada740]

I'm thinking of buying an 01 lesabre. They are claiming that the car takes a minute to start and the check engine light is on due to the camshaft position sensor needing to be replaced. Does this sound right? after watching this video I'm sure i can do the replacement. Ive mainly worked on hondas so i don't have a lot of knowledge on american cars.

[@s33therfan]

I would want confirm the check engine light was in fact the cam sensor . It could be however some times the code will tell you one thing and be something else entirely . In my experience the cam and crank sensor start acting up after getting warm or the car has been running but that's just my experience. It could be any number of things . Anyways wish I could be more help . Thank you for watching

[@johngardner2807]

A loose ,or leaking gas cap,can cause that,also. Make sure the cap clicks at least 3 times,then see if it starts better. If not,then check the cam,and crank sensor. Have it scanned,before doing the sensors.

[@ValleyGMan]

After you replaced both the cam and crank sensors, did that solve the problem of your car not turning on after the engine is warm? I ask because I just bought a 2003 Buick Century, and it is doing the exact same thing. Turns on with no problem when engine is cold, but it will not turn on after engine has been running hot. Your input would be most appreciated.

[@s33therfan]

In this case it did , however I have seen differemt scenarios , with no codes and the throttle position sensor ended up being the culprit. Even relays can get hot and cause issues like this. I would go through checks one at a time , ruling things out. Thanks for watching.

[@baxrok2.]

Gotta get it nice and hot to see if it was the sensor failing. Let us know. Thanks!

[@s33therfan]

+Baxrok2 It was working but the jury is still out on this one , it's one of them ghost problems that sometimes only a crusher can fix . Lol I'll follow up with any new information thanks for watching

[@Vegetafrmda8]

Can u call me please I need knw how make tool stop from turn harmonic balance from moving

[@Vegetafrmda8]

It’s 901-453-2776

[@MrJhnbapst3]

What was the car doing before you decided to change the sensor? My car has spark has fuel pressure but will not start. It cranks kinda slow and will start for a second but die right away with no engine codes.

[@letsgoteamseas5468]

My 99’ Lesabre is doing the same thing. This is a tough one

[@s33therfan]

This one was shutting off after warmed up for about 30 minutes. It also threw the codes for the crank sensor and cam sensor. Another thing you have to rule out is the throttle position sensor because it will cause similar symtoms. Thanks for watching.

[@Akasnacker]

Hey thank you very much great tutorial on this repair I'm about to do this to my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP so I appreciate the advice looks like you have a nice car I appreciate all the detailed advice like don't ruin the ring Etc great job thank you! My TCS light is coming on and sometimes my RPM goes to 0 when I'm driving but everything's normal once I start up?

[@s33therfan]

I would honestly start with cleaning the throttle housing , it also could be the idle control. I believe it is integrated into your throttle housing, but could be separate depending on the year. If there is no other codes it makes it difficult , without a good scan tool with live data gathering. Hope this helps , thanks for watching.

[@-g.k.4389]

Would this be the same for a 1993 Buick regal

[@s33therfan]

I believe the 3.8l are the same but the v6 are different , but they may be similar. Thanks for watching.

[@carolynkindred6311]

Can someone please tell me were the cam sensor is located on my quad four Pontiac am

[@s33therfan]

I am not real familiar with that year or engine but found this , hope this helps . www.google.com/search?q=wheres+quad+4+engine+cam+sensor+location&oq=wheres+quad+4+engine+cam+sensor+location&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.15142j0j7&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=cEkYi9LkpoYdoM:

The vehicle uses metric size bolt bolts and threads. The small thread size used with the puller are 6mm/1.25. The big crank bolt head size is 24mm. You can rent the bolts at Auto Zone. These balancers have a nasty habit of separating the inner section from a rubber mounted outer section, inspect yours.

[@davidyj9013]

So...after replacing both sensors the car still won't start, now what?

[@charlieclingan9273]

BWD stands for Bad When Delivered!!!

[@chanceberg9570]

Mines doing the same thing it cranks but no start.put a new Fuel pump and Fuel regulator but the intake is leaking . plugs and coil are getting spark.so At this point I'm thinking it's the crankshaft sensor or Cam

[@s33therfan]

Best of luck on yours and thanks for watching.

[@TyhlerNovac]
