Re: Crank shaft position sensor

Your missing that some (almost all that seek out help on this board) cars seem to require a actual Honda sensor from a Honda dealer to work right.

Also 1/4 can spray contact cleaner on both ends is my recommendation when replacing.

No, but you might have to try a couple different brands of aftermarket till you find one will work for you.

Dealer ones work 99.something% of the time.

Re: Crank shaft position sensor

Also, those sensors are fragile as crap. I accidentally overtorqued it once and it made it crap itself. Handle that thing like an egg. Drop it, it's probably not gonna work.
