i have the car listed above ES model . Purchased from an auction so not too sure the history on it but when purchased recently had oil/filter changed , transmission fluid changed. valve cover and oil pan gasket redone (had leaks). Air filter changed. Spark plugs changed. Had a rough idle but no codes so figured was just maybe the IAC valve was clogged (was pretty dirty) . Went to go to the store and it stalled out on me when coming to a light or when had more traffic. Drove well on the highway. Coming back from the store the car just seemed to shut off while i was driving. Got it home, parked it, hook it up to a computer and got the code p0335. Looked at where it connected to the sensor and seen in the picture below so got a new connector, soldered it, heat shrinked it and good as new. Did a little research and figured sensor went out also though. So I got a new one put it in and still no start . Also when i would press the gas there would be a rattling but only when accelerating before it shut off on me.. this is my only vehicle to get to and from work . Definitely in need of some help.

Hello, I'm Harry.

I looked up the diagnostic for code P0335 on AllData and was going to screenshot and pay it here, but it's at least 40 pages long. And maybe unnecessary. One of these first things it tells you is that if code P0335 sets, then the body control module also sets a code U1120. That code must be cleared separately after you fix the P0335 problem. If your scanner won't read and clear the BCM, then my suggestion is to disconnect your battery for 10 minutes and then reconnect it and see what happens.

Do that and we'll go from there. Let us know how it goes either way.

P0335 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Malfunction". here is how you can replace the crankshaft sensor which should take care of the problem. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

I replaced the sensor 2xs and yes I did get a diagnostic code along with the p0335 . Which was these 2 Pictures below . I cleared the 2 codes with a regular code reader from Walmart . But the code p0335 still pops up for pending and still no start. I will upload pictures of the area I'm working with in hopes maybe ya'll see something I don't.

I see those 2 codes are from the PCM, and not the body control module. You have to get that code cleared. Your pocket scanner will not access that computer and cannot clear the code itself. Again, try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and then see what happens. Or if you can get your hands on a nicer scanner (probably a $300.00 item) then it'll do the job for you.
