So I'm driving along today, going up a slight incline (this is the second time it's happened, same area too) and the car begins to shake or rock back and forth in a pulsing motion. The rpm's are bouncing up and down within 1000rpm's of the actual reading...
I'm think it's the crankshaft position sensor.
Also sometimes the car won't start, It just won't turn over ... and eventually just stops, Could this be related?
It will eventually start IF I tap the gas, and then it revs high and trys to die unless I continue tapping the gas for a few seconds...
Whenever it starts like that, the tach doesn't respond for about 30 seconds or so ... then it bounces up.
My vote is that sensor, if so -- is this a simple job?
Thanks
