i've been chasing a cutting out problem.i changed the crank sensor and the battery+/alternator/ecm wiring harness.
the coolant temp sensor was changed at the same time as it was popping a code.it is generic,but is reding within 1 degree of my mat on t-link.

i changed all of this stuff at the same time.

i now have no spark.fuses are good.i am popping no codes.

help.

thanx,sean

Got the crank sensor on the right slot?

jim--

it's the same one that it was in before,i'm not sure if the 84 sensors look the same as the 87's.they do have 2 slots,but only one has the aluminum guides on both sides,the other has one guide and a short plastic piece.the sensor i took off had the interruptor ring travelling between the two aluminum pieces so that's how i put the new one in.think i should try the other slot for shits and grins?

thanx,sean

it would be worth a try to see with a test light if you are getting power to ECM and make sure your crank sensor connection is tight. LOL.

the ecm is getting power,as t-link is working.i even disconnected the power wire while t-link was running and it said the ecm wasn't getting power.i would guess this means it's getting juice?

as for the crank sensor wires i've checked and re-checked them.the only thing i'm worried about is that my car apparently had a fire before i owned it and there's a shitload of splices in the wiring,including 2 in one of the crank sensor wires.if i was to turn the key on and probe the wires,does anybody know what the wires should "read"?

i'm gonna go check some more things,keep the ideas coming,please!

later,sean

On the crank sensor, Dark green wire terminal A is +12volts, Gray wire redstripe is terminal C and Ground. The Black wire terminal B is the signal output and will be +10 or so or close to ground depending on if the interruptor ring is in front of it or not. I have no idea what this wire will read if you unplug it from the harness and probe it, I wouldn't do that check it with the sensor on it. Good luck. This is from the 1987 manual.

my manual states: diconnect crank sensor harness connector. ignion on. momentarily jump crank sensor harness terms b to c several times with inj. test light. test light should flash each time crank sensor harn. terms. are jumped. if light blinks check for open or short to grond[term c ]. if that is ok it is faulty crank sensor or conn. if light is off check voltage between crank sensor harness conn. terms. b and c which should be 6-8 volts. if not it may be ign. module or it's conn. as the crank sensor conn. is viewed from the front connectors are labeled from left to right 'a' 'b' 'c' this is for 86 turbo regals.
