Hello,

We need to replace the CPS on our truck and we cannot get the sensor out. The bolt is out but no matter how much we wiggle and tug the sensor will not come out. Is there something we are missing? I cannot find information anywhere on what the secret is on this engine. Help please!

There are two bolts holding it in.

V10 has 3/8 standard bolt. There is no second bolt unless it is hidden in some secret compartment.

I have only replaced a couple crank sensors on this engine, but they all had two bolts.

This photo is for the sensor for a 1993 model, but it looks the same for both years. The photo for the sensor shown for your year is too small and it does not show the shape of the plug. I just used this photo because it is easier to see.

There is only one bolt for the V10. The attached photo shows the only place for the bolt that goes into the block. The problem is this is a couple of inches long and there is about one inch of room between the CPS and the engine mount that is not allowing it to be removed do to space limitation. Unless someone knows a trick, the only thing we can figure is you have to take out the engine mount.

That looks more like a camshaft position sensor but the mounting ear is different. I looked at a number of different years for cam and crank sensors and did not see anything like what you have. I assume you cannot just rotate the ear away from the obstruction?

Now that you mention engine mounts, the crank sensors I have replaced have always been in the transmission's bell housing, right behind the right cylinder head.

I will try to get a picture but where it is, is such an awkward tight spot I don’t know that i can get a phone even in there to take a picture.

The Camshaft position sensor is located on left side of timing chain cover.
The Crankshaft position sensor is located lower right side of cylinder block.

Thanks for pointing out I called it the wrong thing. My bad. I know where the part goes. I even included a picture to show I knew what part it was. Now back to my question. How to get a two inch part out with one inch of space without taking the motor out of the truck.

I called it the wrong part. My question was not about what the part was called. It was how to replace the part. I included a picture so I obviously know what the part is and where it goes.

Yea Im just wondering where the crankshaft sensor is located in my truck

this site is great and thanks.

Using two small screwdrivers, use a rocking motion and carefully pry sensor from timing chain cover.

Its on the side of the block. Not on the timing chain cover. The motor mount is blocking it so it cant be wiggle out from what we can tell. Its a V10 so completely different than a V8 and V6.

If the motor mount is in the way, perhaps you will have to loosen it up, try to move it out of the way enough, maybe have to jack up the engine a little bit in order to do so, or remove the motor mount.
You know just because you are holding a new part in your hand, doesn't mean it's the correct part. Although I am convinced you are trying to replace the crank sensor, it appears that new part you are holding is the cam sensor.
To be sure, can you post the brand name, part number and where you bought that sensor?

when driving a while engine will no start, dianosed bad crankshaft sensor, won t start when warm, after cooling starts again and dianosed bad sensor not detected. Installed new sensor still doing the same thing

rescan for codes and check fuel pressure first. should be 44-54 psi

scanned first said bad crankshaft sensor, I replaced it and the same problem when warm won t start scan reads bad sensor, when cool restarts no scan codes

fuel pressure ok no spark when this happens

if you can do a wiggle test on cranks sensor wires, the connection may be bad on that. it can also be a bad connection at pcm. also replace asd relay with a like one and see if that helps.

now I get code P3040 camshaft sensor and can t find one

it's inside distributor

Dist coil switch in distributor was the problem thanks much

that is the camshaft sensor glad you got it fixed......
