does anyone know if your car will shut off and back fire if your crank position sensor goes out? i had trouble starting my car for about a month an last week it just died and backfired right before, now it just doesnt start.

 

SES light?

I had my cam position sensor go out which show the same symptoms IIRC. Don't recall it backfiring but my car did die and take a while to start.

 

i had a SES light but i disconected the batt and it went away. it never came back on i only drove it for about 25 miles before it stalled

 

your crank or cam sensor(s) will cause that problem.

 

it was running fine and then it just bacfired like crazy right before it shut off now it doesnt start.thanks i guess ill start by replacing those, where are they located?

 

well no check for codes first. then go from there it should still crank with either bad but it will take a while.

 

no its not starting at all ive tried every day for the past 5 days and it just keeps turning but never actually starts, and my SES light is not on, can i still check for codes?

 

can someone tell me exactly where my cam position and crank position sensors are. my car has been out for a week and i cant get codes and i have no idea what it is so im gonna start replacing things. im so pissed already i cant stand not driving.

 

Cam sensors are on the back of the motor near the valve cover in the back. I think you have to take the intake to see it but you definitely do to take it off. The passenger side may be a little bit easier to get to.

The crankshaft pos. sensor is under the car on the driver side. It's somewhere around the rear of the motor and transmission since it's reading from the flywheel.

 

im trading my car in for an EVO. goodbye Z

 

i had a defective crank sensor on my 05 z...the car went all crazy n shut down on the freeway

 

wow.....

 

I'll take it off your hands even with the car running the like crap.

 

What happens when the Evo breaks down one day, what will you trade it for?
