Dear dnice,

Good a.m. I've never had an RPM (Crank) sensor fail. Based on what I've read on this Board, RPM failure stops the car. If no flywhee/flex-plate movement is detected, no fuel is sent to the engine, so engine stops.

The crank sensor is located atop the bell housing, which covers the joining point of engine and transmission. To see it, stand on the passenger side of the car, close to the back of the engine. At rear corner of the engine, look straight down towards the ground. You should see the crank sensor, atop the bell housing.

The crank sensor is secured by one 10mm bolt. While the sensor is visible, it is hard to access. The crank sensor is fragile. Do not twist, bend, or pull hard on the external part of the sensor. If it is handled roughly, it could snap. Then, the tranny will have to be pulled to remove the remainder.In short, be gentle, or leave it to someone, who's done it before.

Hope this helps.

Yours,

spook
