I have a 96 F-150 and if your mustang 302 is like mine that's going to be easy peasy. All the F-150 videos don't give the clarity you gave in this video. Great Job! Thanks!
Quick question, long story, but do you think putting a 2001 cobra crank sensor on a 98 cobra engine would cause a no start issue? I just swapped a freshly rebuilt 98 cobra motor, different pistons and rods (forged) into a 2001 cobra. All (98%) of the sebsors are the same. I tried starting the car for the first time today and I got a no start with a weird popping sound. I'm reluctant to say but it doesn't sound too good, but again, everything is new. Of course I can't say for sure, but the shop that put the engine together is reputable and I have faith that they timed the engine correctly, and if there was any clearance issues, they would've known at the shop so I'm hoping the ECU is just having an issue with the crank sensor. Have you have any similar experiences with crank sensors from different years of the same engine?
I see you used a 4 v for this video. I have a GT and I did remove the bolts but it seemed I didn't have enough room to slide the sensor out. Do I need to disconnect the ac connector for more clearance cause I didn't..
Great video man,i am in the process of restoring a harness and just wanted to know what it looked like under the car before i get in there, just gotta disconnect a few things on the bottom of the car,harness is filthy , wire loom is broken in many places due to heat etc, gonna look brand new when i'm done, thanks!
Hey my car has been not cranking the first try but cranks the 2nd time. Code says camshaft position sensor which I replaced and it does the same thing. Should I go by changing the crankshaft position sensor as well?
billy bobthorton the code is reading camshaft sensor,I replaced it and it still does it. It cranks up better with the camshaft sensor unplugged which I found to be odd
If I replaced my injectors my spark plugs,coils,new connector new fuel pressure sensor and new gaskets on the intake would the crankshaft sensor throw code for cylinder 5 misfire, misfire on start up and bank 2 to run lean? And it’s on a 05 mustang gt
If it’s telling you a cylinder, that is most likely the coil pack, plug , or it’s wiring for that cylinder. If it’s telling you a bank (bank 2 is driver side) it is most likely from a front oxygen sensor for that side. The crank position sensor only monitors the crankshaft
I understand. I am saying it won’t be a code from the crank position sensor telling you a specific cylinder is misfiring. It would have to be due to a bad plug (cracked), coil pack, or wiring. As for a lean or rich bank, that comes from the front o2 sensor for that side. Swap the coil pack and plug to another cylinder and see if the code comes up for the same cylinder or follows it. Unplug the negative battery terminal while you do the repair to not short anything out and to reset the current code
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I’ll try that out with the plug cause I already tried the coil pack and still came up #5 and what do you think would cause the misfire on start up?
Hey man, I doubt you will see this comment but I need some help. I bought a 2002 Mustang GT non running, the owner said it had a bad PCM. He said that he also replaced the fuel pump. I replaced the PCM and it did not start. Since then I have replaced the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, the battery, all the spark plugs, all the ignition coils, checked all the fuses, tried using starter fluid, and tried using an OBD2 scanner all to no avail. I don't know what to do. Please help, thank you.

would a bad CPS have anything to do with a car thats stumbling from idle (taking off from stop light etc) I've gotten into the habit of giving it some gas before taking off to prevent this, also when shifting gears the car tends to having a surging / bucking sensation at lower rpms and smooths out at higher rpm, I can make the symptom appear on freeway if I shift into 5th gear at a lower speed (constantly surges) 2000 GT / Stock motor.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Forgot to mention ive replaced sparkplugs, coilpacks and cleaned MAF sensor, it still has the factory coil pack connectors ive read those can be a problem as well but not sure if I can test them somehow or should I just try replacing them all, thanks for the reply.
What are the symptoms of a bad crankshaft sensor? My car randomly dies at stops and while I’m driving RPMS DROP to where my car will slighting die but come right back up to speed.
The CKP connector on the 98 mustang base v6 is ergonomically stupid, with no easy clip like you have here. Have to unbolt the sensor and bring it into the light to have any chance of disconnecting it.
Kyron Glasker Yes. Some models you may need to drop the ac compressor like in mine, some don’t. You’ll just have to find it. Same general location around the crankshaft
Nope. Just plug it in. The worst case would be you got a check engine light for a bad one and need to disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few minutes to reset it, but that should be it.
Hey bro thanks for making these videos. I recently replaced the CPS for code p0340 and tried clearing the code by disconnecting the battery however Im still having a hard time with starting my car and the code came back. Do you have any idea what maybe wrong? Thanks again for your help.
Ricardo Lopez It sounds like on the 5.0 it’s on the passenger side cylinder head on the back. The easiest way is to follow the front oxygen sensor wires up to where they connect and it’s in the same area. A 8mm bolt holds it in. That sounds like the cam position sensor that’s usually in the front, but from my research it’s the crank position sensor
I HAVE A 2001 FORD MUSTANG AND MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS POINTING WITH THE ELECTRIC PORTION POINTED UPWARDS AND TO THE LEFT IF YOU ARE STANDING FACING THE ENGINE.
I just put the engine in last week and it wont start i replace the cam shaft sensor and spark plugs and new fuel pump it just wont start i spay starter fluid in it and it went boom
So u think i shouldnt give up and trash the motor i bought the car with 60k miles and the motor was fozen so i replace the motor all the fuses are good u think i should replace the crank sensor now
@@champking20 take all ur spark plugs out get some clean oil and poor a 1ounce off oil in each sprark plug cylinder and wait a day it work for me if u seen my previous video of me doing donuts
You’ll find it below the cam cover on the front timing cover on the driver side (on the 03 cobra at least). You’ll see it at 9:45 in this video. We left it on as we removed the timing cover ruclips.net/video/NT5Z5L2wAss/видео.html

Great tutorial thank you for saying socket sizes for each bolt.
Danny, awesome! Thanks man I got a car that’s like your yellow one. It was where you said it was.
This is helpful for both ford vehicles I own. Pretty much the same procedure. Thanks!
Great video! Who the hell dislikes it?
H8Rs ha ha.
Mike Vieira people who don’t own ford mustangs
This world right? Miserable people do weird miserable things.
Thanks for the video but it will much helpful if you explain what was the reason that made you replace the sensor. Can you help?
M Giovanni I replaced the sensor to make the video. Typically the car will not start or have a bad misfire if the sensor is bad
Looking at all the space you have around all of the parts. Incredible how the bigger the Ford the less room there is... 5.4l Expedition
Thank you. Just saw that my sensor hits the AC unit. 2004 Lincoln Aviator
If the front bolt is out, can the actual CPS boot stay in when removing the timing chain cover?
I believe so but I think I pulled mine just for alignment issues ruclips.net/video/sse-F2gNGH4/видео.html

It sounds like it would be a good thing to look into. I would try swapping it with a friend’s if you can so you don’t buy a new sensor for nothing
Checked the crankshaft, it’s not that, I don’t know what to do, it’s getting me frustrated
Take a spark plug out keep it on the wire or coil hold the butt by the shock well if it sparks its not ur cranks or shaft sensor
billy bobthorton the code is reading camshaft sensor,I replaced it and it still does it. It cranks up better with the camshaft sensor unplugged which I found to be odd

How do you know when it’s the camshaft position sensor or the crankshaft sensor bec my car keep dying while running and will crank but no start
Does it give you a check engine light?
It doesn’t mark anything tbh
My car won’t start it cranks tho before while it would run the check engine would flash rarely but would never stay on
Could i just clean it,or does it have to be replaced?

What are the symptoms of a bad crankshaft sensor? My car randomly dies at stops and while I’m driving RPMS DROP to where my car will slighting die but come right back up to speed.
The car will usually not start at all if it’s bad enough on connection reading, or a misfire
My marquis did that and it was the Idle Air Control Valve
