I love Saab, but sometimes the engineers should be hit in the knees with bats for making engineering choices like this. Do not leave the o-ring up against the shoulder on the sensor and attempt to use the mounting screw to force the o-ring into place. I didn't reuse the torx screw for the sensor as it was so hard to take it out. I was able to change my crank position sensor by disconnecting the exhaust down pipe from the turbo after disconnect the O2 sensors so I didn't break any wires. Also, there is no need to remove the turbo lines. Follow the sensor connecting cable and undo the clip on the water pipe. Detach the connector from the holder.
I was ready to give up and get a former Saab tech over to fix it, when I found this post. Spray the connector with Kontakt 61 part no. Anyways thanks for the tips! We also provide inexpensive and guaranteed 3 day, 2 day, and Overnight shipping options, so if you need your Crankshaft Position Sensor tomorrow, eEuroparts. Access that torque from the bottom easily going up at it. If the crankshaft position sensor or its wiring have any issues, it can cause the crankshaft signal to be cut off while the engine is running, which can cause the engine to stall.
Jan 6, 2016 - Intermittent stalling. We thought it was fuel and went crazy tracking down that, followed lots of posts on fuel pump, regulator, until last weekend, after a no start and waiting I got it to start but gave me code P0725, so I changed the sensor. After you unbolt the old one, twist it a little bit to loosen it and pull it straight out. It would have cut the time in half I think as long as the down pipe co-operated. Sep 22, 2017 Depends which engine it is but some Saabs have a crankshaft position sensor and if that fails or the connection to it goes bad, the engine will not start. Taking out the pump was a bit tricky and ended up just cutting the line that goes from the top of the pump to the bottom as it seemed to be impeding the removal process and then it came right out.
It is one of the most important sensor in modern engines. It would have cut the time in half I think as long as the down pipe co-operated. This makes it an important part of your engine system; a bad crankshaft sensor affects not only the engine speed but also the fuel efficiency of your car. We proudly offer a 1 year warranty on all Proparts Sweden products, getting your car back on the road and keeping it there at a great price. Also, beyond the Torx 30, what other tools do I need? It does take a little dexterity to not drop the T30 bolt. This allowed a clear shot at the torx screw so I didn't strip it. The crankshaft position sensor is commonly mounted near the crank pulley, camshaft, and flywheel or on the camshaft as well.
The crankshaft position sensor is commonly mounted near the crank pulley, camshaft, and flywheel or on the camshaft as well. This can be frustrating as the check engine light can obviously turn on for many different things. I have no prior mechanic experience but it was pretty easy following the instructions online. Thought I'd leave a few suggestions to help the next person. It is easier to access from below if you don't remove the exhaust down pipe. I assumed a two step process was required, first slide the red tab and then second disconnect the connector. If your car is more than five years old and out of warranty, buying aftermarket brands is a great way to save money.
In order to get the bit into the screw correctly, there's only a limited amount of room before you run into the downpipe. The new one went right in. I removed the cross over air line from the turbo and loosened the black pipe for the intake and swung that out of the way. Easy to find after pulling out the sensor. You don't have to remove anything.
This post should be linked to those on fuel pump and pressure regulator. I used a torx wrench socket with a little ratchet handle. After you unbolt the old one, twist it a little bit to loosen it and pull it straight out. Is this the same procedure I'd use on the 3. Follow the old wire routing. You will also need a work light.
Follow the old wire routing. It should hold vacuum without leaking down. Poor acceleration on freeway a time or two. I used a 40 mm bolt. Also, if it has the Direct Ignition cassette, if it fails the engine will not start.
