Crankshaft Position Sensor
Re: Crankshaft Position Sensor
Re: Crankshaft Position Sensor
Need help removing the CPS. There is a plate that partially covers the base of the CPS. From looking up top, I cannot see the bolt that anchors the CPS.
1. Should I remove this plate first?
2. Also should I disconnect the CPS before removing it?
3. To get the wire off the CPS, should I be able to pull it off or does in lock in place and I have to press the tabs to get it off?

You can undo the bolt without removing the connector and disconnect it when it is more accessible.

Don't be a dufus and try to remove the connector first - like I did. BIG waste of time.
Back the bolt out and hold the connector/CPS assembly such that you keep pressure between the CPS and bolt, so the bolt doesn't fall and get lost.
After you get it out, and put the socket and bold aside, THEN take the connector off.

It is plumb full of fuel. I will test for sure. It had pressure in the rail I released it from the valve. But didn't put a gauge on it. IM having it towed to Mercedes to run a diagnostic check on the system today. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the reply

I hope it is a Mercedes dealer who is willing to work on a Chrysler as many don't want them on their lot.
