well i have a fun task ahead of me. i need to change ut the crankshaft position sensor. i really need to do it soon because this whole my car not starting at 4 in the morning and me having to walk home is getting old, fast. does anyone know where a writeup is to do this? preferably one with pictures. lol. i'm pretty sure i just have to take the harmonic balancer off. but yea any advice would be fantastic. thanks in advance.

I dont think its too hard. You take off the passenger side wheel, then its right there I think.

I just did this a couple of weeks ago. Its pretty straight forward. Make sure that you get the bolts that the writeup tells you to get. If you rent a tool it won't have the right bolts for the job. Also when you get to the CPS make sure that you unplug it before trying to pull the cover off, I just had to deal with that mistake.

my buddy has the balancer puller tool with the screws so i should be set there. did you have to do a case learn for after you changed out the censor? and did you have to drop the subframe at all?

Just pulled the wheel and balancer off, that's it, there is more than enough room there. Its not very difficult and pretty straight forward. When I was done the car started right up, didn't have to do anything special.
