Crankshaft Position Sensor

[iamchrishall]

I was sitting idle outside of a store and the car just shut off on me. When I restarted I noticed that the tach wasn't working (stayed on 0) While driving home I had a few stutters and the CEL came on. Code p0335. So it seems like I need to replace the crankshaft sensor.... only thing is I can't find the darn thing.

Anyone know where it's located or have a diagram that could help?

Hope this helps.

Not sure if you can diy, crank might need to be in a certain position or sensor set to a certain ohm. I really don't know.

That diagram looks like the back side of the engine, just above the oil pan, near the transmission end. Should be easy to reach from under the car.

Thank you for this diagram, now I think I'm a little confused because the sensor that comes up to replace seems different than the one shown in the diagram.

Goto Rock Auto, should be able to narrow it down. What engine type 1.8 or 1.4

I just looked at the diagrams and is it me or does it show a second front lower trans mount connection to a front lower cross member which would have been the fourth mount [emoji43]..

Hmmm- Maybe there are 2 pieces to order. I've been looking and looking and there is almost no room to work in there. Maybe it will be simpler to just have the garage do it for me lol I hate to admit defeat but sometimes you gotta do what is easier.

P0335 - Crank Sensor.
Hi Everyone, I'm new to the Forum. For about a month my Wife was Driving the 2014 Sonic LT Automatic with a 1.8L engine with 131608kms.
She tells me the car cut off a few times while idling at a stop light. The Tachometer would drop to Zero , but after a restart, it was ok. I used a scan tool to read the codes. no codes. I drove it earlier this week and the same issue happen to me. It stalled in a parking lot and l lost the tach, but the check engine light came on, when i got home, I scanned it for codes and it showed a a P0335 - Crank Position Sensor.

I done a visual check of the connector and the harness of the sensor. it looked ok.. It happens twice after i drove. I went to the Chevy Dealer to get the OEM Part. Since I'm an Auto Tech by Trade, i figured i would replaced the Crank sensor myself. I had some choice words to do this repair.N-n Fun.

I jacked up the front of the car and used jack stands to support it. its best to do it on a hoist if possible. Not a lot of room to get both hands in the location. You have to removed the starter in order to remove the sensor, but you need to removed a "L" bracket to get access to the Top starter bolt(13mm Head). **you cannot access the top starter bolt from top** Anyways, once the starter is out, its still a bit of a task to remove it. The sensor comes with a new Hex bolt.. Once i installed the Sensor and then the starter. tested drove it and it seems to running ok. no issues so far

If you don't have the proper tools available its best to sent to shop or garage to get it replaced.

From all the twisting and turn, I'm going to be sore tomorrow, not as young as i once was!!!!!

Thanks for reading my post. any questions let me know..
