Hey whats going on Crossfire family, first of all I did search the forum to see if I could answer my own question by searching but i could not find it 100 percent clear....anyway my crankshaft position sensor went out and so I literally replaced it about 45 minutes ago with a non-bosch sensor, the car ride home the car once again died on me while I was driving. Any idea why? I do understand it could be a lot of things but maybe someone had exact problem. Is there a process that I missed I had to do before replacing sensor? I do not know if it matters but I have a 2005 SRT6 with 74,000miles

 

There's your problem.

 

Thats what I thought thank you for that. I will go tomorrow and buy the bosch one. After I get it follow the same steps right? take negative off battery, put in sensor, then wait a couple of minutes and put it back on!?

 

Yep, anything other than a Benz or Bosch sensor will make these cars finicky. Also, I didn't disconnect my battery, or wait a couple of minutes before starting. Just swapped mine out in the parking lot.

 

Oh ok cool. Saves more time then. Well hey man, in all honesty thank you very much. Ill buy it tomorrow and let you know if anything. Pretty easy to take out but that little bolt under sensor is an enemy!! haha. Thanks again.

 

Anytime, this forum is great for answers.

 

mendezfa, before you put more money into the CPS you should pull the diagnostic code; It could surprise you and save some money and time.

 

Ok that sounds like a good idea too. I hope the car can make it to the nearest mechanic shop. i do not have a diagnostics code reader.

 

Like the RCM? Does it crank?

 

It cranks if I wait for about 30 minutes. It acts as if the engine has to "cool down" before I try again. I just went out 20 mins ago and it turned on right away but once again the check engine light turned on. Thats the problem though it will cut out while I am driving and i literally have to wait till the "engine cools down" to turn it back on.
