When to know if your crankshaft sensor is faulty?
If your car is running roughly, the engine speed is ‘hunting’, the car won’t start, won’t reach high revs, lacks power or cuts out whilst driving, check to see if you have a faulty crankshaft position sensor (error code P0335) or camshaft position sensor (error code P0340).
How do you change the crankshaft sensor on an eclipse?
You should change the crankshaft sensor if you notice decreased engine performance and higher fuel consumption in your Eclipse. Disconnect the negative battery cable with a wrench and set it aside, ensuring that it doesn’t touch metal. Unplug the sensor’s wiring harness connector. Remove the sensor’s retaining bolt with the appropriate socket.
How does the crankshaft sensor on a Mitsubishi work?
