As always…. A BIG thank you. I just did this same thing about 2 months. Long story short, after doing my Gen V swap I forgot that I left a rag down by the mount and at initial crank it got sucked in behind the pulley and I had to remove it to get the remainder of the rag out. My biggest issue was finding the proper screws (3x smaller ones that attach to the pulley, I couldn’t find the correct size and length). Eventually I did. After all said and done. It is a very simple process. The most time consuming part was getting the hardware and set up. I’m sure this video will make it much much much easier for the next person. Thanks again!
If the Crank Sensor goes bad would it throw a code? I'm currenlty experiencing crank, no start on 04 GTP Comp G. No codes. Drove fine all weekend on longer drive. Monday - Wednesday night drove it around town with no problem. Thursday, it won't turn over. It cranks but doesn't start. Fuel pump, spark plugs, wires, coils, ICM, battery and alternator all replaced with last 2-3 years. Can the Crank Sensor just die that suddenly and not throw a code? I'm going to look over some things (clean throttle body, clean MAF sensor, check for fuel pressure, spark and air, etc) this weekend before I start firing the parts cannon at it.
Thank you man 😊 let's see how My 1st try goes... only thing Im really unsure of is the size of each bolt to remove in case I need to go purchase the right tools.Thanks again my friend 🏆
Good video, remind people not to lose or forget to put the key part in the groove on balancer and crankshaft or balancer may slide out of position. You must not live in the rust belt as those frame bolts loosened up easily or had been loosened previously. thanks.
I bought my 2007 GP GT in 2013 and still own it today. It's been a love/hate relationship lol. I've had my GP leave me stranded and towed more than I care to admit. I've also had the crank position sensor and ignition control module both replace 4 times since owning the car! These sensors must not be well made or I just have a lemon
Try going through and remove and clean all the ground or bonding connection from engine to fram and or body. It sounds like a loose connection brother.
Cool. If the crank pulley bolt comes out with my impact this should only take me maybe a couple hours. My car occasionally just won't start, but almost starts. I put a fuel pressure gauge on it and that seems fine so I'll try this.
@@brandontodd3630 I used a scanner to monitor my RPM data over time and found my new sensor to be faulty. It reported the wrong RPM and would cause no start and kick back against the starter which I've also replaced now. I replaced with ACDelco and it starts up every time now. Wouldn't start when cold out like below 35 degrees F. Wouldn't start when heat soaked. The original sensor just had issue with heat soaked conditions as far as I knew
Could a bad crank sensor also cause the speedometer to malfunction/jump around? 1997 Buick LeSabre. Both the Speedometer and the Tach either do nothing, or then start jumping/dancing at random. I am getting a P0336 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit code. The OBD scanner is able to read the actual mph when the car is in motion, so I don't think it is the speed sensor.
I have 2001 pontiac grandprix, it is running fine. Given the age do you think it is a good idea to change the crank shaft position sensor in my car as a preventative maintenance?
Would it cause a hard cold start or when turning the steering wheel to both sides at extreme pull and making car shut off and does it make a noise when failing on the right side of car near the front right wheel? and then car starts up again? or is that an ignition switch fail? just replaced belts, tensioner and water and ps pumps... its 140 k '01 gtp Thanks again for the video Salem....
hi bro i have a grand prix 2005 , and when i start the car it stars shakings and after it turns off , i have changed the timing belt front gasket due to a leaking , pleas i need your help .
@@SalemDoyle Good to know-Thx.. Fixin to change one on my 2000 Lesabre. I have an Xtool D8S that has a relearn option, but seems some folks cant get the relearn to work, so hopefully I wont even need to mess with the relearn..
Just bought a 2000 Lesabre with 82K miles. Was running great and then the engine just shut off while driving and also when in park. Starts right away, but shuts off in less than a minute. I think this might be the problem. thx
@@scotthightower9481 Thanks but my mechanic figured it out which was I have a defective fuel tank. When filled up, it allows some fuel to flood the vapor canister which then floods the engine and shuts off. The fix was to replace the tank which would have been about $1400 for tank and labor. Or just not fill it up. that's what I did instead. Runs great, but I can't fill it all the way up. Luckily I average 28 mpg and can go about 400 miles on 3/4 of a tank
You forgot to mention a VERY IMPORTANT detail that wasted me A TON of time. You must have an impact gun to remove the crankshaft bolt. If you don’t have one then watch a couple videos on how to remove without impact gun.
Hey man I have a question about the w body I’m going to look at tommrow and I have a picture I would like to send and maybe get your opinion could I have your email?
i always watch every single video just because i know you add some extra explanations and lots of really helpful tips
Thanks. Glad you like that
Really cool to see the Indepth video of this repair! Luckly, I have not had to do this. Awesome that you don't need a CKP sensor relearn too!

This is a great channel he will answer questions not to mention he does a lot with one hand. I think I’m about to become a patron
Thank you, i appreciate the kind words.

About to check out my 03s sensor
Those 3800 cranksensors can fail and cause ghost stalls and no starts especially when hot.

This is one repair that I have not done. Thanks for the video on this👍🏾
Never would have thought to drop the sub frame to gain easier access 💪🏾
No prob. Thanks for watching
Dropping the subframe is unnecessary work that doesn't need to be done
Did you have to reset or reset the crankshaft position sensor?
No
@SalemDoyle Ok. Thanks for the quick reply. Just had one installed today and I'm still having the stalling problem
Dude this is twice ypuve helped me out i have an 04 grand prix and this helps a tons thanks dude keep it up
Glad it helped
@@SalemDoyle can you make a playlist for the grand prix plzzzz
Yeah i will see what i can do

I always try to use the factory gm sensors they seem to last better

It wasn't too bad with the right tools. Wasn't bad at all. My car still does the no-start while hot and sometimes starts really weird
Have you figured out your starting problem? I'm having an issue that sounds like yours

crank bolt shouldn't come out that easy, has to 110 ft lbs
Most decent 1/2 drive impacts can get it iut pretty easy
it would be nice showing the crank sensor install and tell if there are any adjustments or if the ways to do it wrong
It only fits one way, no adjustment
thanks youtube hard start light service code or just put new crank sensor ?

No, sounds like the gauge cluster malfunctioning.
What size 3 bolts were used on the removal tool ,i think mine were to short
Are there any precautions to take when lowering the subframe? Like any support needed from a jack?
Its good to keep a jack under it
hello friend, and what would be the tightening for that screw
You got the 4a or 2a battery in that kobalt?
Thanks bro 😎 great video

I wouldnt, they. An last a long time.
what tools and sizes did you use?!!

Crank sensor usually only. Auses no starts and tach issues
hi bro i have a grand prix 2005 , and when i start the car it stars shakings and after it turns off , i have changed the timing belt front gasket due to a leaking , pleas i need your help .
I would start by rechecking your work and then see if the computer has any codes
Did u have to use a scan tool to do the re-learn process? I wanna change mine out also on my 03 lesabre but I don't have no scan tool.
No, i did no relearn on this one and it works great
@@SalemDoyle Good to know-Thx.. Fixin to change one on my 2000 Lesabre. I have an Xtool D8S that has a relearn option, but seems some folks cant get the relearn to work, so hopefully I wont even need to mess with the relearn..
When reinstalling, doesn't the crank pulley need to click and fall into a timing groove? Good video though, thanks :)
It doesnt click. Itjust slides on as lo g as the key way is lined up
Do you still have? How much
06 grand prix rear knock sensor how to video please
What if you change it and the code is still showing and the car is still jerking and cutting off
That's what mine is doing right now I hoping it's the cps
Also mine isn't throwing a check engine light
Going to be doing mine on my gtp :p
What did you use to keep the pulley in place when you unbolted the nut ?
I just used an impact, disnt have to hold it
@@SalemDoyle good to know !! Thanks 🙏

Check fuel pump resistor thing first

What about the relearn?
Will this cause the car to not get spark or not start n just turn over ?
It can, yes
Did you end up replacing that seal as well?
It had already been replaced, just not on video
Did you ever find out what was causing the p0300 code.
No. Another video on that is coming soon.

What is the name of that plastic cover mine broke
junkyard part with no name
Is there a torque spec for that pulley bolt?
110
You forgot to mention a VERY IMPORTANT detail that wasted me A TON of time. You must have an impact gun to remove the crankshaft bolt. If you don’t have one then watch a couple videos on how to remove without impact gun.
He prolly should have said it but at the same time did you really think you could get that crank bolt off
Thx for vid
Can you please share the part no for this ac delco crank position sensor?

Where can I buy a new crank seal?

did that impact really take out that bolt
Yes
Is this the same on a 2001 gtp?
Yes
