Does any know can you bypass a crank sensor?

[Harper]

HUH? :hmm: Uh-uh! don't think so.....

Yes, I know.

 

No, you can't bypass it.

just wondering, truck started stuttering just seeing if i could tell if it was bad before I bought a new one.

[jpdocdave]

sure, back probe and graph the sensor signal on a lab scope.....duh. :nuts:

 

 

:banana: just messin with ya.

IIRC someone makes a relocation kit that puts it on the harmonic balancer for easy access, though.

Hesco.

You could use it for that, but Hesco developed that to mount a CPS on the 4.2L engines when converting them the MPFI.

(Assuming your's is a Renix 4.0L) You could just spend the $12, and order one. :dunno:

I just ordered two from these guys yesterday (through Amazon),

2 from them is still cheaper than getting 1 from Rockauto:

I'll post the good/bad about "Cerell Distributing Company, Inc", and if that's the right CPS after I get them if you want.

My 89' 4.0L has been slow starting,

so I cleaned off the CPS, but set it too deep when I re-installed it,

it started back up, but the flywheel started eating it. :eek:

 

I backed it out, it still works, but I'm a little less trusting of it right now. :ack: :ack:

The CPS can be tested from the connector, set a volt meter on 0-500 ohms, test leads A & B and you should read 125-275 ohms, out of that range, replacement time.
