I have an 01 Civic EX that I bought with 124K and was told the belt had been done. Well at 140K the t-belt broke and bent ALL the valves. Had it done at a shop because I had bought an extended warranty. They covered everything but the water pump and the total cost was almost $3k. I paid almost $400 out of pocket-thank god for the warranty.
Now, 3 or 4 weeks later, the car is running crappy and pulled a crank sensor code. What are the chances that the broken belt hit the sensor and cracked it but the tech never checked it?
Should I take it back to the shop, that tried to rake me in the first place and had my car for 3-weeks, or should I pull it apart myself and document everything.
It is still under the warranty.
I am disabled and don't want to have to take the bus to school so any advice would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

if its underwarrenty, take it to the shop.
if u try n mess with it urself......and something goes wrong (or something else goes wrong) the shop might try and blame it on u.....and void ur warrenty.

usually crank sensors get messed up from mechanics spilling coolant on it while doing the timing belt and water pump.
