CPS (Crank position sensor) code is showing up on my 96 GS-R, what is that and exactly were is it located? Car wont rev past 3500k....

Please help!!!

 

can't tell you exaaaactly what it does but it mounts onto your oil pump right at the crank kind of in between the crank pulley and pump

 

The crankshaft position sensor is designed to record the rate at which the crankshaft is spinning. This sensor consists of a toothed metal disk mounted on the crankshaft and a stationary detector that covers a magnetic coil that the current passes through. As the metal teeth move past the coil, its magnetic field is disturbed. This causes a stream of pulses in the current. The computer can calculate the crankshaft's speed from the frequency of the pulses.

 

With no signal from the crank position sensor the ignition module won't generate a spark.

 

Could this be why I can't rev passed 3500K? How do I replace it?

 

get a new sensor

 

would that cause a misfire code cylinder 1 and 3?

 

Im also having a problem with my car running right. The timing was off a little. then i broke one of the teeth on the crank gear which caused the car to not even start. if your going to replace the crank sensor you might also think about replacing the time belt, water pump, etc. depending on your mileage and belt condition. I will warn you that if you leave your alternater diconected from the motor it will send a ground spike to your pcm and fry it. the Pcm is over four hundred dollars. I might be in this situation after talking to a honda tech.

 

so wat does it plug into wat part of the harness? I dont remember nothing plugging up by crank pulley how does it work ?

 

I'm going trough this problem too. For the past couple weeks, ever since I swapped in a 91 si flywheel, pressure plate, and a cluch along with a cable hf tranny to a d16y7 its been acting up. The car would have a hard time starting when its cold. But more recently a week ago, I swapped in an si tranny and for the past couple days the car would just turn off right after I punch it. There seems to always be a misfire, and the engine bogs out when I floor it completely. Will the flywheel make a difference on the rotation/timing of the crank and crank sensor?? The 91 flywheel is slightly bigger than the flywheel that was on the motor when I took it off, so maybe that might be the cause?? If someone knows a lot about this reply or send me a pm, your time will be much appreciated

 

you guys need to slow down, read my thread, and ask me any questions you have...
