The Old 96 roadmaster has developed a crank sensor issue. The Computer is throwing me out a PO335 and 336 engine codes. the one is a "crankshaft positiong sensor curcuit malfuction" and the other is "cranksaft sensor range/perf". I have at this point replaced the crank sensor, plug to the sensor and checked the wires in about 2 ft from the sensor (ones that run under the oil pan lip). I need to know where these go into the computer (wire postion) so I can check the entire wire. The car starts and runs fine. the first start up no light and as long as the car is running no light. The second start the light will come on within 5 seconds after she fires up. Again the car runs fine. I am suspecting a connector because she doesn't like to get wet. Will stall and not restart in the rain and when running it through the car wash. Both issues came up at the same time. So please help if you can. the car will be needed at the end of the week to do a 10 hr round trip and I really need to get the fixed! Thanks in advance for any suggestions Dan

Dan have you checked the actual termination of the wires inside the connectors? I chased an intermittent idle air code for 2 summers, changed the IAC, the fuel tank breather and the pre-cat O2... I finally caught on because of the way Autozone dude worded it, something like 'the signal is not getting through' what's between the IAC & the computer? wires so sure as I open up the rubber boot over the plug & find a wire broken off at the crimp Edited by Rockatansky - 03-August-2013 at 9:24PM |

Checked the connector and one of the connections appeared to be in question (bad crimp). Checked it with a meter and it was a bad connection. Replaced/wired in a new one and the car stalling in the wet has stopped but the same fault codes keep popping up ! I checked the new connector real good both visual and with a volt meter to assure the connections were good. So what else could be causing these two codes to keep popping up? I would like to check on the CPU side but I don't have a schematic for that car. I only have until Thursday to figure this out.

timing chain?
computers & electronic diagnostics don't take into account for old school hard part wear, tear & failure
