New Crank Sensor

The crank sensor is discontinued by all manufacturers, you can not buy them anymore for an 89-93 car. We use walker 235-1068 which I emailed them about yesterday but no response.

Really!? I didn't know that. That sux. i was kidding because I just picked up one for my '95. Guess you will have to rethink your situation. Want to buy an engine? I can deliver it his weekend LOL :D
 
I may be needing one of these as well. Tach goes to zero and check engine light comes on. Stays that way or works and doesn't work intermittently. Doesn't want to start when engine is warm. Just replaced DIS and that didn't fix it. I'm guessing either crank or cam sensor (both of which were replaced with new parts in April).

If it turns out I need a crank sensor, has anyone found a source or have any ideas on something we can use as a replacement or a fix? Otherwise our cars are expensive paperweights?
 
I am working on something now as a replacement. Will require rewring of the existing sensor harness to the new senor, have to figure it all out when the hall effect sensor comes in this week.

That's not a crank sensor problem, that's more typical of a cam sensor issue.

Please be sure to update us if it works. Good luck!!

Thanks!

Will also require a custom insert to use aftermarket sensor in a stock mounting bracket, along with the rewiring.
 
Crank Sensor

Has anyone found a replacement for the Crankshaft Sensor? I know there are ones out there that are similar, but wanted to know if anyone has tried using a different one.
 
I tried that too. I heard that to sensor from the 2.3 litre 89 to 94 ranger might work. Has anyone tried it?

I purchased a crank sensor from a 2.3 to compare it in person to the SC sensor....They're nothing a like even though the stock pictures used on Rockauto look very similar.
