Crankshaft sensor

yea it is quite satisfying! just hoping it has solved the issue as its been so temperamental.

Hi, looking to do this next week as mine is playing up with exact same symptoms.

Quick questions - where did you get your crankshaft sensor, what was the OEM part no (I've looked it up as 33220-76G11) and how much was it?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I know this is an old topic but I found it to be very helpful for my needs. I already ordered a new crankshaft sensor for my 2002 M13A Jimny because i accidentally damaged it with a wrench when I tried to move the alternator (I wanted to tighten the belt). The engine takes forever to start now and when it does, the rev goes down and it almost dies and the orange engine light is ON.
I would like to ask you something, please. If I replace the sensor, will the orange engine light comes back to normal (off) or is it necessary to be reset using an OBD2 device? I am not a mechanic and maybe this is a silly question but I like to be sure that my Jimny will be fine.
If you have any advice, it would be more than welcome.
Sorry for my English and thanks a lot!

The new crankshaft sensor shouldn't cause that kind of problem and doesn't require resetting the ECU. If the sensor was faulty I'd have thought the engine would not run at all. That said, it could still be a faulty part. Assuming the engine ran fine before you damaged the crank sensor I'd seek another sensor and see if it fixes it.

Otherwise it sounds like a fuel/air issue. Clean the idle control valve, crankcase pressure valve (on top, beside the rocker cover), check the air filter. Low on fuel?

Today I replaced the crank sensor. The orange engine light is off now,it takes 1 second to start after ignition, the idle is smooth, everything seems to be fine. Thank you for this topic, it helped me a lot.

mine was working fine, until i drove at a constant speed over 40 mph then it started playing up..
5 mins stopped then i could drive again..
discovered that if i used backroads so constantly accelerating and slowing down then it was fine all day long, but do a constant speed and the engine would falter !
I bought £19 one and its fine...made in italy !
