crankshaft position sensor plug end
crankshaft position sensor plug end
help i really could use some help here. i have an 05 crossfire that has had starting issues. the code says its a bad crankshaft position sensor, so i replaced the part and still have the same issues. upon further investigation i found that if you jiggle the wires going to the sensor the car dies. so now im trying to find a new wire connector as pictured here or someway to repair this part as its not available, or at least i cant find one. anyone have this connector for sale or some insight on how to repair? thanks in advance

The Bosch CPS is said to fit tighter as the contacts on it are thicker, if a after market part does not fit reasonably tight to the plug then the contacts are bearing a load they were not designed to take.
Check the fit of the CPS and the plug, maybe it is too loose.
I have disconnected mine once and they seemed to fit quite tightly, the locking tab should keep the contacts in the correct position.
Lightly clean the contacts before assembly anyway.

I was having the same problem with the sensor I bought at Autozone. I bent the contact blades in the sensor so they were slightly uneven and it solved the problem. I did end up replacing it with the bosch cps just for piece of mind and kept the other one for a spare.

so today i solved the problem, i went to the junkyard and looked at hundreds of pigtails and found the same one on a late model vw beetle. $2 and im back in business.
