baylensman Posted February 14, 2017 #76 Posted February 14, 2017 Had the crank sensor problem myself. Seems the little bolt loosened every so slightly then a peice of sticky paper from the new radiator hose rode the belt around and stuck to the sensor and lifted it up every so slightly so i had intermittent contact. It appears that the"'ecm" only uses the sensor for start up! However it check it every so many cycles so you get a weird error code if the sensor is in its up position ( away from the pulley). The "ecm" check fuel pump relay, crank sensor and one other if any of the three is out it wont start, and it disables the other two so if the crank sensors shows bad at start up the fuel pump relay is locked out so your testing can show fuel problems however when you hit the brakes to park the sensor can drop back down and then it will restart after sitting if you do a coast in it may not "fall" down until the next time you slam the hood. It took three back yard mechanics with sensors and code boxes over a month to find it
snyper316 Posted February 14, 2017 #77 Posted February 14, 2017 I have never owned anything new either, I consider any maintenance to be my car payment or bike payment that I have to pay once in a while. Upside to that is nobody is going to come reposess my vehicles!! If I can't afford the part. I once financed a car when I was 20 it ended up getting reposessed shortly after I had to put it in the shop due to the fact Needed alot of special tools to do what needed done so not only was I out the $700 I put down on the car and payments but out the 300 it cost to be fixed!!!
videoarizona Posted February 14, 2017 #78 Posted February 14, 2017 This is a shake down cruise for the truck. Grin and bear it is my recommendation. For those of us who can't afford new everything, we have to fix stuff occasionally. It's not all bad. Like someone else said, I couldn't afford two new cars, new truck, two new motorcycles, and a new boat. My wife has the bought new 2013 Infiniti. I have a 12 year old car, a 15 year old truck. two motorcycles that are 28 and 32 years old, and a boat that is 19 years old. I'm happy with my old stuff for the most part, certainly happy enough that I don't intend to replace it with new stuff no more than I use them.
