    How to remove crankshaft position sensor?

    I don't need to do anything else? It seems like that would be a lot harder to test for...I'll give it a try.

    How to remove crankshaft position sensor?

    ...still doesnt start...now what? It's not the battery, alternator, IAC, or crank sensor. This is really pissing me off now.

    How to remove crankshaft position sensor?

    I unbolted it but the a/c compressor and clutch is in the way. Please tell me I don't have to take both of those off to get this thing out. I searched and found nothing other than "wiggle and it will come free". The part that goes to the crank is about two inches long and I don't see any way to...

    a/c clutch removal help

    Also, the check engine light and battery light stays on when I have the ignition turned all the way and if I try to start it. All the other lights come on too but they shut off...does this mean it's throwing a code? Is it just throwing a check engine light or is the battery light on as well...

    a/c clutch removal help

    I tried taking it out and plugging it in again to no avail, could it just be totally shot? Would something like that go bad while the car is running? What about the IAC, would that be something that would do this or would that just make it sputter? What I've come up with so far: 1. crank sensor...

    a/c clutch removal help

    Well, I got it all taken off and put back on...started up the car...won't fire. It turns over just fine and keeps going but it won't start up. I seriously can't believe this...any ideas what could be the problem? Coil pack? Ignition switch? Alternator?

    a/c clutch removal help

    I got the clutch and snap ring off but the pulley is stuck...I tried spraying pb blaster on there and tapping it and prying it but no luck. I have a clutch puller but I can't get it to work right. Any tips on how to get this thing off? From my understanding it should just fall off once the snap...

    How do I take the actual clutch off? Do I not even need to use the clutch puller?

    a/c clutch removal help

    I'm putting a new a/c clutch on my 96 GT and I'm having some problems. I read some of the writeups on here but I can't figure it out. I removed the front plate (which had sheared apart when the clutch went) and I don't know what to do next. I have an a/c clutch puller I rented from autozone but...

    air compressor squeaking

    Do you have a link to a how to for the clutch? The ol' Haynes manual conviniently says take it to a shop. Also, is there anywhere online that sells this kind of thing? My local Autozone doesn't have it in stock and they said it was like $135 even if they ordered it. It seems like an a/c clutch...

    air compressor squeaking

    There's a squeaking sound coming from my air compressor whenever the engine is on. If I turn the a/c on it blows cold and works fine, but when I accelerate it pulls on the car (I thought it was tire roll at first). It looks like the pulley is going to freeze. Is there any way to replace just the...

    sqeaking sound from front end?

    squeaking sound from front end? When I turn the wheel really hard my front end is making a squeaking sound. I thought it needed PS fluid but I checked and its perfectly fine and there's no other leaks that I can see. It doesn't really do it when I turn the wheel to the left, and its not the...
