1996 Buick Century 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Have a 96 Buick century, got towed the other night, was picked up minutes after towing and will not stay running now. Have at an auto shop and code comes up p1374
Looked up on line says CKP high to low frequency Correlation.
have no idea what this is or why it wont stay running. Was fine before towing and was picked up minutes after and will not stay running, cuts outs !
Thanks for any info here.

Hey Lobster & mastertechtim I too am trying to solve this battle of mechanical witts.
I did get as far as replacing the crankshaft sensor AND the sensor under the harmonic balancer (looks like a brake pad). Unfortunately we still get the same old code.

My car is a 1996 Olds Cierra. Giving me the same old stuff!

What next?

We have the problem identified, the tourgue of the engine shaffed a wire causing the failures. It was well hidden and not an easy find. We also replaced the Crank Pos. Sensor and was not the problem even though the code id said it was.
Look for any shaffing in or near the wiring harness, our area was near the power steering pump.
Good Luck.
