2002 Nissan Altima Crankshaft Repositon Sensor?

  • Due to recent problems with my 2002 nissan altima constanly cutting out, I need to know exactly where the Crankshaft Reposition Sensor because I would like to replace it. I am pretty sure it exists in the distributor, but I don't know exactly where. Please help.

  • Answer:

    most common nisan cut out is cap rotor wires or plugs. most common no start is ignighter a small solid state divice next to or mounted on coil. crank position sensors were usually put in the timing covers (v6 only with distributorless ignition) if your car has a distributor the distributor is the position sensor by using a laser fired through 359 slots and one blank to a reciever oposite th laser(optical ignitio system) sometimes the shaft seal leaks a little and fouls the laser and reciever. cleaning will temporarily resolve!

If you find a distributor your a better mechanic than I. There were several recalls for crankshaft sensors. Your car might still get cam and crank sensor replaced for free. Crank sensor is visiable with the plastic motor cover removed looking straight down to the ground between the throttle chamber and valve cover with a droplight posistioned behind the motor on the heater hoses. Helt to the engine block with one 10mm gold colored bolt holding a black colored sensor and black and green connector. I do not reccomend you change this sensor because you will have a heck of a time getting it unplugged, awakard posistion and hard to remove. The green part slides toward the front while pulling out the connector it takes fingers of steel. Many times the connector gets oil inside you'll have to clean the oil out. New designed sensor has to be plugged in before installing It is metal and 180 degrees different connector location. Get your cars recalls checked soon.
