changing crank angle sensor on my vt 2000

[mrVT]

hey all the past couple of weeks ive been having problems with starting my car and my cars been dying at the lights which has been a pain in the ass, i thought at first might be my starter motor which wasted my time and money buying a new one which that did nothing so until today someone mentioned to me that the problem is the crank angle sensor which causes the car not to start and die at lights when hot, my question is, is it easy to change as it cost me 40 bucks and dont wana spend anymore money, does the pully come off easy after taking the big bolt in the middle? anything i have to take into acount?

hi
i've changed two in two weeks (car still stalled we thought the first one was faulty) once you have removed the the main large bolt, the pully removes easily ,remove a couple of small bolts and unplug sennor, keep in mind if car still stalls the problem could lie with the fuel pump!!!!!!

check error codes if there is no code showing for the CAS check the fuel pump!

Did you use a puller to remove the harmonic balancer ?
