I am in the process of replacing the crankshaft position sensor. I have a problem, however. When the new sensor is installed I cannot get any clearance between the balancer and the sensor. If you turn the crankshaft the metal vane of the balancer comes into contact with the sensor. I tried readjusting, removing and replacing etc. I makes contact with the balancer vane no matter what I do to it. What would cause this? Is there a way to fix this?
I checked the old sensor and it is the exact same size as the new one. There are no marks on the sensor indicated that it was hit or damaged. The two metal pickups at the end of the sensor were completely gone. I am sure I have the right part. What went wrong???
I am obviously unable to get the matbook cover clearance that chilton calls out.
If you have any suggestions or know of a good SC mechanic in Austin TX please , please help.....
I have wasted money hand over fist on this car and it never runs right for more than a week at a time......
