I am a total noob but had the crank replaced because i had a friend of a friend work on it and did not tighten crank pulley properly. replaced crank, pulley, timing, water pump and now get code for crank position sensor, replaced and still getting code. because between 3500-4000 rpm car goes limp. what can be the problem because still getting same code for crank sensor

hmm thats odd. usually if a crank sensor goes bad the car wont even start or crank at all. its a fail safe in the ecu programming. are you sure it is a crank sensor code and not a cam sensor code?

is it ckf or ckp code? ckp is in the distributor. the one by the oil pump is a crank fluctuation sensor.

Just fixed the issue. A wire was loose on the distributor causing the issue thanks for pointing me in the right direction
