Somehow it’s been running (but roughly) for the past 2+ years or so, with all three wires to the CKPS missing molten/dryrotted insulation and intermittently shorting out.

I really don’t know how his vehicle ran as long as it did with such a faulty part, like that’s the sensor that tells the spark plugs when to fire and the fuel injectors when to spray…

Now it’s running pretty smooth again, still a couple minor hiccups here and there, but nothing like it was.

    We had an old GMC Envoy. Despite replacing it twice we could never get the light to go off.

      I just recently saw a video where it was the distributor that was causing the crankshaft position sensor error to throw

      I never would have figured that out

      Oh, we still got some odd codes that I know are gonna register anyways, like Power Steering Pump Pressure, but that works fine and hasn’t ever leaked (yet…)
