Hi everyone, first time posting on here so sorry if I’ve posted in the wrong place. My Jimny has recently lost power out of no where and from what I’ve researched it could either be the crankshaft sensor or Camshaft sensor, only problem is I can’t find the bloody camshaft sensor! It’s an M13A engine 2007 Jimny.
Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)
It's always the crankshaft sensor that goes on the M series engines. That's the one behind the alternator. Some people say only replace with genuine but I normally fit Blueprint ones which are half the price. The genuine ones consistently fail so I can't see the logic in paying a premium to put the same in again.
I’m hoping it’s not the crankshaft sensor because it’s a pain in the arse to get to! I’m waiting for my new camshaft sensor to get here to see if it sorts the problem first if not then I’ll have to get my hands in there and swap that
Crankshaft sensor is very easy to do. Just slacken off the adjuster on the alternator, flick the belt off and then push the alternator away from the block. It's literally a 10 minute job.
