Year, make, model & engine would help

the truck is a 1999 s10 with a big v six motor

 

Unbolts and pulls out, should look like this: Buy Delphi Crankshaft Position Sensor SS10125 at Advance Auto Parts

After replacement, the crankshaft position sensor relearn MUST be performed with a capable scan tool. The engine should start and run, but it will not run properly until the relearn is performed.

 

ok got the old sensor out the base was stuck in the case how do you do a relearn? thanks steve

 

The crankshaft position sensor relearn can only be performed with a (high end) capable scan tool. Any GM dealer can do it, and some independent shops can do it. You'll need to call around and see who has a scan tool capable of initiating the relearn, and is familiar with how to perform it. Labor charge should be less than 1 hour.

 

thanks for the help did the relearn and still didnt fix the problom the mechanic i know thinks it could be a timing chain anyone else ever have the same problem thanks steve

 

uh...what is the problem?
