Hello,

Did you get the correct Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) to install in your vehicle? I have also not only heard of but have personally experienced buying parts that are bad right out of the box before. In the diagrams down below I have included the proper OEM part number for the CKP sensor. Be aware that there are two different CKP sensors depending on if you have a manual or an automatic transmission. Please go over this information and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
