This is the EXACT symptoms of a bad Crankshaft Position Sensor.

Exactly I changed the crankshaft sensor only to realize the camshaft sensor was bad…

Thank you for this video. I have been having issues with my Nissan Altima with the SIL coming on randomly and when it comes on my car jumps and jerks as the RPM's get up to speed. I have changed out about every sensor I could think of and the ones the Nissan readers read and still the problem persists. The two sensors I have yet to change out are the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. I will get these two changed out ASAP and hopefully she will run with no problems from here on out.

Have you switched them yet?

Does the codes create knocking type sounds also? Or sounds in general from the engine? I have 2013 scion frs with the p0024 and p000d, p000a, p000b codes.

@easyautofix I have a question for you with an issue that's happening with my car. Maybe you might know what's causing it?

@dannyboy88dr 8 сағат бұрын

So random days my ford escape starts to stutter while driving like a horse I guess you can say and then it doesn't allow me to go faster than let's say 20 mph and if i try to it starts to shake and sometimes it'll smell like burnt when I open the hood. I don't see any leaks or smoke. So when that happens I have to turn off the car and let it sit for about 15mins and then when I turn it back on it'll be back to normal until days or weeks and then it'll happen again.

Chrysler T and c similar symptoms driving along at low RPM. And acts like it dies and stays going. Then also stalls at, stop signs. Or low idol mostly. also, when the air conditioner is on seems to be. Worse when it's hot. Stalls or dies just briefly.

My Jeep compass is giving me vibrations on steering wheel at idle. Something the vibrations are felt like highs and lows on the steering wheel. Can this be linked to this sensor?

I have a 2004 GMC Envoy and the camshaft sensor is broken and throwing a code. The plastic piece is literally broke off in the engine but it still cranks.

P.s I originally put it the shop to get the tail lights to work and the replaced my steering column without my knowledge or ok then I got it home the reverse went out.arw they related? It had no issues before I took it in for taillight issues.

I had a similar issue once 2016 Subaru WRX, and it turned out to be a bad clutch.

Those symptoms are only when the car is cold, or also when the engine is hot? I have exactley those symptoms but only when the car is cold. I have power on acceleration, and the car goes as best as it is when the car is warm. I changed the sparkplugs, cleaned the injectors. I have P0011 and sometimes P0012 error codes and I think its about the sensors..

@janbo8331 3 ай бұрын

I have the same thing. It only manifested when the car was cold, and now it won't start at all. I'm about to change the sensor today so we'll find out soon enough I guess.

@@tyxne6645I changed the sensor and got rid off the fault code, but the car still isn't starting. I proceeded to use INPA to synchronize the EWS system, but still nothing. Now I'm waiting for a new ring antenna for the key tumbler. If that doesn't work, I'm pretty much left with two options; either a relay has busted inside the EWS or the ECU is faulty. I'm proceeding with the "cheapest first" approach..

@@tyxne6645Changing the sensor was easy enough apart from the bolt it was attached by. I have a BMW from -99 and the bolt was absolutely ridiculous. It was a weird bolt that would've needed a special BMW tool, but I ended up getting it out after a few hours and some violence. Replaced with a regular bolt.

2 in 1 oil pressure sensor and camshaft position sensor it is a very bad design for the reason of being made of soft materials such plastic, abs etc , the connection pins are keen to expand when engine is hot vibration also increases the risk of creating gaps between the wiring and the case of the sensor wich will allow the engine oil to contaminates the connection wiring and mish-mash with the signal transmitted to pcm/ecu
