I would like to know if there is a final solution to the problem of the crankshaft position sensor. I have a 99 Olds with the 3.5L and the sensor was replaced about a year ago. Now the same symptoms are showing up again. Also, the codes for my oxygen sensors (both) are showing that they're bad. Should I replace them also? Any advice will be appreciated.
This sensor thing seems to be quite prominent. Glad to hear though it is only a sensor. I will need it replaced as well, same symptoms being intermittent hard shifting. I will back up this car though as being extremely reliable. I have put little money into it at 90000. But I believe that regular maintenance is key.
I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 3.5L engine with 74000 miles only. I replaced the CRK sensor at 59000 miles. The air conditioning started to fail 2 years ago. Warm air in driver side and cool air in passenger. Now no cool air at all. Also notice about 6 months ago, when engine warm up, parallel parking is near impossible, extreme difficult turning the steering wheel. It's OK steering when moving just a little.
I bought the Oldsmobile Intrigue new in 2001.
I had the rotors and brakes replaced around three times.
I needed a new motor at 40,000 miles.
Now I need a pressure control solenoid.
I am an old lady driver and I maintain the oil changes every 3000 miles. I love the style and comfort of the car, but at 50000 miles and a new engine, I wish I could afford a foreign car.
