I will also try this. What do i do, just hook up the multimeter to the sensor? What am i looking for, for voltage?

Well, first, you're looking for voltage at the harness connection going to the sensor, not voltage from the sensor itself. The sensor is more of a switch than anything capable of producing voltage on it'* own. You probably know that, but I wanted to make sure.

I believe there are four pins on the connector. Sensor power (supposed to be 10v relative to the sensor ground, on my '89 at least), sensor ground, and two outputs (inner and outer balancer rings produce two separate signals). As for which is which though... I assume you have at least a Haynes or Chiltons, right? The wiring diagrams are in the back.

Then yes, just measure from "sensor power" to "sensor ground", and you should have at least 10v with the key on.

If you don't, remember that all wires to the crank sensor come from the ICM, and troubleshoot accordingly (make sure the ICM has good power and ground, etc.)

If you DO have voltage to the crank sensor, it may be possible to see an output signal from it by probing the sensor ground and output signal wires (one output at a time, of course) with the multimeter and watching for voltage (either in AC or DC modes) while a friend or significant other cranks the engine for you. Watch those fingers. This is NOT the right way to test a crank sensor really, but who has a scope? You won't see any on/off switching signal, but I could see an average voltage as an output when I did this on mine. It didn't prove that the sensor was working right, but I could at least tell that it was providing some kind of signal.

Hope that helps. Feel free to PM if that was confusing. It'* late...

10.9 volts to the sensor.... so it most be the sensor.

Guess who is buying a HB puller tomorrow.....

Don't forget the M6x1 bolts and washers you'll need. The kit won't have them.

Geterdun, mister.

Will a generic HB puller from say advanced auto (for like 14 bucks) be good enough? They told me it may bend, but to me, it looks like it would pull 2 HB'* with ease. LOL



PS- It is sad, i am going throw all this just to get the car started again, HOW I CAN WORK ON MY KR PROBLEM

Consider renting the puller (loaner tools) for free instead of buying. Advance or Autozone should have the loaners on hand. The bolts as mentioned won't be in the kit. M6x1 pitch at least 80mm long.

Well i have some pics uploading.............






Crank sensor was the problem ( i havent started it yet, but after you see the pics you will agree). All in all took only about 35 minutes to do it lol, so easy i wanted to cry. All i need now is a torque wrench, mine doesnt go high enough. So i might rent one tomorrow from autozone and it should be running tomorrow night. I am very happy right now, and will be estatic after i hear it pur again.

PS... M6X1X80mm bolts are freakin hard to find. It took me 12 dollars in gas, about 15 different places and over 2 dollars a piece for the bolts haha. But i got them

Here you go.. blurry but deal with it










As you can kinda see, 1 notch is broken like right in half. And the sensor is sorta melted by the belt that was wrapped in the fins of the HB. LOL. Seems like a good call guys, I will have start up videos tomorrow

well, im happy you found that problem and that it a easy fix get that engine running
