'91 v8q Crank & Speed Sensors

[Kneale Brownson]

But we are starting to see failures of these sensors in the 20-year-old I5 cars too, so be aware that a junkyard source may not be too reliable.  Considering the difficulty of the replacement, I'd rather install new ones in a V8.

up the extra cord, as they are about one foot longer. They don't seem
to go bad on the 5-cyl's, as the exhaust runs on the opposite side of
the engine. The heat seems to be what kills them on the V8's. I've
sold/used several sets from the turbo cars with no problems. And, they
are much more plentiful in salvage yards.
