Its the Crankshaft position sensor. They quoted me at $340 -350. I know the sensor itself costs no more then $100, is it that much of a bitch to get it off and replace it? I think its behind the belts...

Ya its behind the timing belts which is why it cost so much to replace.

your crankshaft position sensor should be close to the coolant temp. sensor..by the thermostat housing....u need to remove the intake and remove some of those cables around to see it...not so hard to change...can do it in 15 minutes..

Speaking of which, if you haven't you should probably replace the timing belt if you haven't yet.

On a 7g the crankshaft position sensor is behind the timing cover ... you guessed it right next to the crank. Takes 2 10mm bolts to remove it, 2 10mm bolts to install a new one. If you remove the Alt, PS, and A/C belts, crankshaft pulley/waterpump pulleys you could remove the timing cover without removing the mount. Probably a few hours work, not hard at all.

well im drunk, came from a club. here is the summary from my mechanic. He pointed out that one of my belts snapped! On the timing belt, there is a big belt and a thin one, the thin one snapped. The crankshaft positon sensor also is messed up. So they both need to be replaced. The other p0111 is nothing, it was because i didnt re-plug my mas. So all im sweating is if my motor seized from the belt snapping. I told my parents what happened and they are being nice to just pay for it all. I understand what to remove, but the fact is I dont wanna take the time to do it, I'd rather have my mechanic do it...and they fact im not paying...is a bonus.... :mrgreen:
