if the timingis off will it cause the crankshaft sensor to read false or malfunction? will it cause the car to be hard toi start when cold? the cruise control isn't powering up either both fuse are good.

Hi there,

if the ignition timing is off it wont cause the crank angle sensor to show a fault, but it will make it hard to start if the timing is well out of adjustment. do a scan and re check fault codes for crank angle sensor and speed sensors. start here.
