Ok i replaced that crank shaft sensor twice already and i cant see to get the CEL to go off! its really starting to **** me off!!

It starts up after 2 turns sometimes but then again sometimes it starts up on the first turn of the key
and they told me that it would take 100 miles or so for the CEL to go off but its still on

 

did you do the crankshaft variation relearn?

 

sounds like you need a case relearn.
probably nothing wrong with the sensors at all.

 

it is not a case relearn..its the crankshaft - camshaft correlation code. u need to retime ur timing chain on the side of ur engine...it took me a day to do this, trust me..i spent 2 weeks with this problem until i finally tore apart the engine and timed it the right way

 

no how do i do that? sorry i just dont know anything about that sensor and how to fix it

 

has ur head every been off?

 

uhh yeah, read my sig.

So i have to tear the engine part just to fix the problem, the timing chain??

can this not be fixed when i get tuned?

 

ur not breaking 400whp on the m62 but yea...u can try setting the sensor the right way by putting number 4 cylinder on compression stroke top dead sensor then line the cam sensor and housing up the right way...i did this 3 times and it didnt work but thats because my timing chain was off..urs might be on and thats all it needs..

no..

 

well im not going to mess with it.. ill take it somewhere to get it fixed cuz i aint gonna mess up anything

 

just take it to the dealer and tell them ur cam sensor is not aligned if they can fix it..they wont care if u have aftermarket **** but might cost a little bit

 

how much do you think the would charge and how many hours would it take to get if fixed right?

 

i can do the alignment in less than an hour...so they should beable to do the same..as for price i wouldnt know..its really easy man if u have a 15mm wrench and a 21mm wrench u can handle it for sure

 

yeah i got both of those lol.. i wonder if theres a how to on here

 

i dont think there is...but its not hard dude...hit me up when ur ready i'll give u a break down

 

Ok ill go at it tomorrow of this weekend sometime... thanks man!

 

u have a pm...

 

hey raven, ive got the same code. can you shoot me the directions as well? however to the best of my knowledge, my head has never been removed...

 

will do when i get home from work

 

what were those instructions?

 

solution? remove the CEL bulb.. and viola, problem disappears

 

and now for the serious answer?????

 

Sorry to revive this but I am sitting at the dealer right now I brought the car in to have the thermostat replaced. They went to move the car and it didn't fore. Shows a p0017 code now. Head has never been removed didn't have any issues like this before. They are checking to see if warranty would cover it. Just curios to see what could have caused this.

 

i bet they removed the sensor housing to change the thermostat and dident time it correctly
