Hey just curious if anyone else has encountered this code and what they have done to resolve the issue. I just reassembled my engine and its been on since I got the car running. The car runs great idle doesn't fluctuate whatsoever. Although it takes 2-3 times of turning over to start.

Here's the code when scanned :
P0017 crankshaft position
Camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor b

I'm fairly descent with tools, and I've been pouring over the threads the last two nights but can't find the answers.


Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

 

Gotta redo the timing its off by my guess 2 teeth. Been there done that.

 

Clear the code first.. I cleared mine and hasn't come up in a while but yea might mean ur timing is off

 

Ahhh crap that was kinda what I was guessing it would be. Will it harm the car if i keep it like this for a week or two? Just starting school and time is something I have very little of right now.

 

Also I have cleared the code once. And it came back on as soon as I started the car again.

 

if you haven't messed with the timing check the cam positon sensor if could be bad but if it needs retimed here is the sensor retime procedure

That's my problem. When I timed the engine I set the camshafta at 10 and 2 and the. Crankshaft at 5, but I did not set the notches on the cam position sensor. Idiot move by me.

Thank you so much !!! Ill have to do this this weekend

 

your welcome

Sub'd for later

 

I have the same issue with my car and when I try to line the can sensor up it won't go back in correctly.....I need help with this guys its my daily driver

 

Also make sure that cyl #4 is on top dead center.

 

How do I get it to go there

 

By rotating the crank pulley.

Rotate manually until the timing mark on the pulley lines up with the timing mark on the front cover of the engine.

You will need a little mirror to see the timing mark on the pulley and front cover.



The position of your cam gears will look like the photo below when at TDC for Cyl #1 & #4.



Your cam position sensor/housing will look like the photo below when setup correctly.

you guys are awesome that check engine light is gone however now my car won't start and isn't throwing a single code.....nothing sounds out of the ordinary when i try to crank it it just won't turn over ......everyonce in awhile when cranking it will start to roll over then just stop and continue to crank

 

The cam sensor is out of time....

Re-time as per me & Mrb's instructions, and you will be good to go.

 

The car wouldn't crank because of a bent valve

 

Does this get fixed at all mine is still at the shop but the guy told me it aint my timing chain cos my sensor is not getting enough resistance idk it could be the harness?

ballin on the budget!!
