I have run issues but no codes, so I was reading in the service manual on the crank position sensor. Then came back here, ran a search on it to see what I could dig up and came across this.
Of course I said oh boy when I saw this!
I never would of dreamed this would be an issue. So what happens? The tip breaks off when you go to pull it out because the o-ring seal is stuck or something? Did you manage to get it out? If so, how?
I have no codes but was considering changing the crankshaft sensor or the camshaft sensor. Now I'm afraid to touch it.
Was just reading further but instead on the cam position sensor and ran across a post where someone said they replaced both and the crank one snapped off. Used a screw and some hours to fish it out. Ugg!
Wonder if pre-treating with penetrating oil would help? Grit/grime, weakened plastic, stubborn oring seal sort of thing?
Mine has almost 240k... might make for a very bad day.
