Thank You!!!!

In this case, Crank Position Sensor

I have an 02 and am currently trying to replace mine but it looks a little different. i have the wire disconnected but the assembly is stuck to the housing and won't come off. It will turn but not come out.  I cant really see down there to well so if anyone has any advice let me in on it.

Mine wouldn't come out smoothly either. I had to wiggle it to death to get it out.

My old one is different from my new one. I posted the pics of the old and new. The new one has a metal shank while the old one has a hard plastic shank. The whole thing does come out like pictured.

yours is an 05 right?  your old pic still looks smaller than mine.  its awesome that you posted pics it helps.  I will keep trying tugging at it.

It would cut off in while driving then when it finally cut back on the ses light came on.  I put in my code reader and it came up code 335 which is cps malfunction.  I cleared the code and it would be fine for a while and do it again.  I read some stuff on here and determined it would be easier to replace it myself than let the dealership do it.

this thing is pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf?

um.....iamsofakingwetodded.  What i thought was the cps was the vss(vehicle speed sensor) let the name calling begin.

Forgot to update.  I had to put the vss back in and try later cuz me and my girlfriend had to leave.  After knowing were it ACTUALLY was, it took me 10 min. and I could tell a little difference in the car besides it not randomly cutting off.  That slight sluggish felling has gone.  Thanx for the write up my Hanes book was really thin when it came to this.

What about if the car feels like it's missing at low RPMs?  (Mainly in 1st and 2nd)
Does that mean it's going bad?

The book has been hard to find.  I frequent a lot of autoparts stores and have never seen one in person myself.  Strangly my girlfriends dad who also works on cars stumbled upon it some months back and got for me for christmas.  Needless to say, i about shit a brick.  Its for 95-04 all models and, there is not much specific how to's for the 02-04.  There is much more for the 95-01's.  Still it's a good thing to have so if you search the internet im sure you can find one somewhere.  Just be prepared for a lot of filling in the blanks.

I can't see jack shit that looks anything like this, when I look into my engine.

I had the same problem, thats why I spent an eternity on the wrong thing.  Look on the back side under the intake mani.  Its off the beaten path.  Look from the drivers side with a flashlight.  Also helps to move the intake tubing to see it.

I used a flathead to pry mine out

Why do I always steal your thunder?

i used the mmis as a landmark.  i took out my sri too.  just the coupling that attaches it to the throttle body.  i couldnt see jack shit but the bolts were fitting so i kept workin and i got it right.  just wanted to say thanks to saint0241  for the write up.  helped a lot!

crankshaft position sensor is for the crank, and it's located towards the bottom of the engine
camshaft sensor is for the cams, and it's located at the top of the engine on the driver's side of the head.

cam sensor is the black thing sticking out in this picture:

Is the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor the same part? I ordered the crankshaft position sensor but on the box it says camshaft. It seems to have fixed the problem but the SES light is still on. Could this be why it is still on? I used the diagnostic scanner to check if there are any other problems which there are not.

i think my car is suffering these systems my car cranks there power but my safc2 doesnt turn on we jumped wires into safc2 and it turned on and into fuel pump and turns on and spits out fuel but somewhere along the end of the fuel line to the engine it stops so my friend thinks its this problem what are the chances it being the camshaft sensor?

Nice write up, I changed mine last night and now my car is not stalling. How do I erase the code?

Thanks I will be trying it tonight!
